Celebrate Bloom! in York this summer with our Viking-inspired gin, JORVIK Botanicals, in partnership with York Gin.
Using flavours familiar to the Vikings, including Bilberries; a fruit grown in the moorland around the city with a sharp, bitter taste, which complements the slightly peppery flavour of nettles, another ubiquitous plant during the Viking period.
You can purchase JORVIK Botanicals gift packs, which include both intriguing Norse-themed flavours, exclusively at the JORVIK Viking Centre Gift Shop £8.50 for 5cl, £35 for 50cl.
