Skip the crowded, generic tours. What sets us apart is the intimacy and the story. You aren't just walking past factory machines; you are sitting down directly with the founder and Master Distiller. In our cozy Old Harbor distillery, you'll get a highly personal look at Icelandic distilling, smell the local botanicals, and enjoy generous tastings and craft cocktails. It’s less like a formal tour and more like having drinks with a local friend.

Personal Tasting, Delicious Gin

We were served their gin as part of a gin tasting and had to go check out the distillery. The gin tasting was extremely insightful and delicious. We are bring 5 bottles home to Florida.

Excellent tour

This is a must do tour for gin lovers, or just Iceland lovers happy to give it a try, and the gin is exceptional! The distiller, Biggie, talked us through how the gin is made and their passion for creating a really high quality product stands out. We talked about the history of the distillery and future plans over several fantastic drinks. I'd definitely recommend this tour, and saving room in your luggage to take a few bottles home!

Get the Coast Guard gin.

Tasty and informative gin tasting. Birgin was personable and knowledgeable. We learned a lot and had fun. Get the Coast Guard gin! Can’t wait til his whiskey is available!
