Ólafsson Gin captures the natural beauty and wonders of Iceland. A classic Juniper base and floral, citrusy botanicals combined with earthy spices and a mineral whisp of ocean air. 🌿💨⁠
⁠
But what draws out the true Icelandic character are the notes of native arctic thyme, birch, and mountain moss winding through to a lingering finish. All expertly blended with the pristine lava-filtered water Iceland is so famous for. 💧⁠

Share in the spirit of discovery 🍸⁠

What makes our gin so seamlessly smooth? 🍸 One of Iceland's treasures is its pure and pristine water which filters naturally through lava rocks in underground aquifers before reaching our taps (and bottles)💧⁠
Smooth, refreshing, and drinkable. Drink Iceland. Drink Ólafsson. ⁠

Eggert Ólafsson wrote in his book, Travels in Ice

Eggert Ólafsson wrote in his book, Travels in Iceland, in 1757 that:⁠
⁠
„Drunkenness (and its related vices) is far too common in most of South Iceland as well as in the area west of the Snæfellsjökull glacier."⁠
⁠
..Clearly, things have changed since then 🙄⁠

Eggert Ólafsson vildi meina að hegðun íbúa á suðvesturlandi væri hæpin þegar kemur að drykkju á 18.öld. Eða eins og hann orðaði það: ⁠
⁠
“Drykkjuskapurinn og fylgilestir hans eru allt of algengir um mikinn hluta Suðurlands og vestur undir Jökli.“ ⁠
⁠
..Við þykjumst ekkert kannast við það 🙄 ⁠

Happy stormy Monday! 🌬 The weather these days seems to be changing as rapidly as the results of the Icelandic parliamentary election last weekend. 🌪⁠
⁠
At least we know the snow is not melting from the mountains until next summer. Let's cheers to that! ❄️🍸⁠

Gleðilegan stormasaman mánudag! 🌬 Veðrið þessa dagana virðist vera að breytast jafn hratt og niðurstöður Alþingiskosninga um helgina. 🌪⁠
⁠
Eitt getum við verið viss um og það er að snjórinn ætlar ekki að bráðna af fjöllunum fyrr en næsta sumar. Skál fyrir því! ❄️🍸 ⁠
