The old winter month of Þorri has started in Icel

The old winter month of Þorri has started in Iceland, with all of its peculiar traditions. We're not going to show you a typical Þorri feast — that's only for the bravest of the brave, but it includes eating fermented shark, boiled sheep's heads, blood pudding, pickled seal's flippers and ram's testicles. Do you need a drink after reading this graphic description? You know what to do. #gin #olafssongin #iceland #thorri

Today is "Bóndadagur" (Husband's Day) in Iceland, where husbands and boyfriends are treated with gifts and nice meals. It also marks the beginning of the old Icelandic calendar month "Þorri".

According to tradition, the man of the house is supposed to greet Þorri on behalf of the family by going outside on the morning of Bóndadagur, dressed only in his shirt, wearing only one leg of his pants while dragging the other behind him, and go one full circle around the house by hopping on one leg.

After doing so, we believe a glass of Ólafsson Gin would be greatly appreciated. 🍸

Our “inviting, intricate, and unique” label just won gold at the Beverage Testing Institute’s 2021 Packaging Competition. This is our second gold in just over a month, but in December our bottle won gold for design and packaging at The Spirits Business Awards. This makes us proud and very happy. Thank you! ♥️

Good news for all of you participating in Veganuar

Good news for all of you participating in Veganuary: You can enjoy your Gin & Tonic guilt-free, because Ólafsson Gin is vegan. Here's your Veganuary G&T Starter Kit: Ólafsson Gin, Fentimans Tonic, a lot of ice and a lime wedge. Feel free to play around with ingredients, ratios and garnishes, but a classic G&T is vegan and takes less than a minute to make.
