About The Icelandic Gin And Whisky Tasting Experience
Get ready to experience the best of Icelandic spirits with our distillery tour and gin & whisky tasting experience. As Iceland's first and only whisky distillery, we take pride in handcrafting our products from native herbs and botanicals, and 100% Icelandic barley. Join us for an unforgettable adventure that's perfect for whisky enthusiasts, gin lovers, and anyone with an interest in Icelandic spirits.
Explore the Process of Creating Icelandic Spirits
During our tour, you'll have the opportunity to learn about the process of creating Icelandic spirits from Icelandic barley, starting from the raw ingredients to the final product. Our hardy and slow-growing barley, grown in volcanic soil at the Arctic Circle, is low in sugars, resulting in the usage of 50% more barley per bottle, bringing even more of the sharp taste of the Icelandic summer to each bottle.
Sample Iceland's First and Only Whisky
At our distillery, we are proud to produce Iceland's first and only whisky, which took four years and 163 trial distillations, as well as aging and maturation tests, to perfect. The unique taste of our whisky comes from our passion and dedication to handcrafting each bottle, from growing our own barley to designing and building our own pot stills. It's no wonder that our whisky has gained recognition from enthusiasts and experts around the world.
Experience Premium Gin and Traditional Icelandic Brennivín
In addition to our award-winning whisky, we also produce premium pot-distilled gin and our own old-style traditional Icelandic Brennivín, which is a must-try for anyone looking to experience the unique taste of Icelandic spirits.

Reviews
“Amazing deal for great spirits and connecting with a family run distillery!”
“The whole experience was casual as we joined a group of about 10 others guests. There were over 5+ samples of amazing whiskey, gin and brennivín. It was intimate and learning about the roots of this small batch distillery was so inspiring and heart felt. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to do something off the beaten path and especially anyone who loves to drink!”
“Worth the discovery”
“My wife arranged a tour and sampling of the only whiskey distillery in Iceland. The offer whiskeys, gins, aquavit and a sweet mulled liquor. You get to sample them all. You also have a fantastic tour that is done in both educational and humorous way making it very fun and interactive as you are encouraged to ask questions. They do not even have to be about the process, it could be about the Icelandic football team or best bar in Reykjavik.
Definitely check it out but take a taxi or walk so you can enjoy all the samples.”
