MEET THE TEAM
We are a small, passionate team, with a total of 60 years of experience from the Norwegian spirits’ industry. We have distinct roles, but all participate in the development, production, marketing and distribution of our craft products. We aim at producing high-quality products, true to Norwegian spirit traditions.
From the end of the 19th century and up to the 1st World War, Atlungstad was a major Norwegian distillery. In 2013, it was classified as “industrial heritage”, and we embarked on an exciting and rewarding journey to make Atlungstad great again.
