From the silence of the northern valleys, a clarity emerges. Maison Noir is born from places where nature still decides the rules.
Founded by master distiller Elena Kors in a converted greenhouse outside Oslo, Maison Noir began with a single experiment: what happens when you freeze fermentation at its most volatile moment?
Water born from a landscape carved for thousands of years by glaciers. No additives. No sugar. No artificial flavouring. Every bottle carries the mineral silence of permafrost and the first green push of Arctic spring.
Maison Noir. A name that speaks to the darkness between the lights — the long northern night that makes the aurora possible.
The cap carries a green iridescence — aurora meeting opal. A tactile signal that what's inside was crafted with the same precision.
Every bottle is individually shaped. The deep emerald tint comes from iron oxide — the same mineral found in Nordic glacier water.
The bottom of each bottle carries concentric rings — a reference to the ripple effect of a single drop on still, glacial water.
“We do not rush the frost. We do not hurry the thaw. The spirit arrives when it is ready.”
Elena Kors — Founder & Master Distiller
Each spirit captures a distinct moment of the Nordic year.
Pine resin, frozen earth, the green silence after snowfall. Distilled from glacier water and filtered through volcanic rock.
Midnight juniper, cold mineral springs, aurora reflected on still water. A light seltzer with real botanical character.
Cloudberry, rhubarb, the last amber light of midsummer. Zero alcohol, full expression.
Every aspect of our process is designed to return more than it takes. Carbon-neutral distillation, recycled glass, compostable packaging. The wilderness shaped our spirit — we intend to keep it wild.
1% of every bottle sold goes directly to boreal forest restoration projects across Scandinavia.
