Eimverk Distillery

Company History

Family-owned distillery founded in 2009, dedicated to premium Icelandic spirits made from 100% local ingredients.
Eimverk is Iceland's first and only whisky distillery, known for craftsmanship and local rooting.
Focus on being “purely Icelandic” and continually improving each new cask; highlighted unique innovation such as sheep-dung-smoked reserve.
From grain to bottle: our own plans, our own pot stills, and our own production of spirits.

Production takes place with specially manufactured distillation equipment and aging in new American oak barrels.
Flóki whisky is the result of 4 years of experiments and 163 trial distillations and maturation attempts.
100% Icelandic barley: Icelandic barley is hardy and provides sweet maltiness and spice notes.
The production includes three spirits: Flóki (single malt), Vor (gin), Víti (Brennivín).
Craftsmanship all the way: from barley cultivation to design and construction of distillation equipment.
Unique processes such as sheep-dung-smoked reserve contribute to a distinctive Icelandic cultural profile.
