Norwegian distillery appoints new UK distributor

The multi award winning Norwegian distillery Oslo Handverksdestilleri (OHD) has appointed CASK International as its new UK distributor. The distillery is known for producing spirits using only botanicals native to Norway. This range includes Vidda Torr Gin, Akevitt Blank, Marka Bitter and Norwegian Wood Birch Vodka which is new to the UK market.

Since OHD was established in 2015 they have worked with the CASK group in Norway and Sweden, so the appointment of CASK International as their UK Distributor is a natural progression that further develops that relationship. It also sees CASK International expanding their operation from craft beer into spirits.

To launch the brand, CASK International are offering a limited number of free 5cl sample packs to venues interested in stocking the OHD range. To request a sample pack, potential stockists should email spirits@caskinternational.com. 

OHD was established in 2015 and was the first new distillery to set up in Oslo since the State wine monopoly acquired the last operational distillery in 1927. It is the result of a love of the Nordic outdoors, clean air, lakes, cuisine, design, and the country’s heritage of craft distilling. By using botanicals which grow wild in Norway they capture the taste and aromas of the Norwegian nature in all their products which continue to win international awards.
