Ólafsson Icelandic Gin

Ólafsson Icelandic Gin is a critically acclaimed, small-batch spirit produced by Eyland Spirits that captures the rugged, pristine essence of Iceland's landscape. The brand honors Eggert Ólafsson, a beloved 18th-century Icelandic explorer, naturalist, and poet who famously mapped the country's culture and geography.

Flavor Profile & Key Ingredients

What sets Ólafsson Gin apart is its base of pure, lava-filtered Icelandic water, which features a high natural pH and minerality that yields a velvety, exceptionally smooth texture. The gin balances a classic juniper and grain backbone with distinct hand-selected, native Arctic botanicals:

  • Native Arctic Thyme: Lends a complex, slightly floral, and green herbal aroma.

  • Icelandic Birch: Provides a crisp, clean, woodsy depth.

  • Mountain Moss: Adds a unique, grounding, and earthy element.

  • Citrus & Earthy Spices: The finish features subtle hints of lime zest, fresh ginger, and the nutty bitterness of angelica root.
