The story
The brand has emerged in recent years with two main releases (a London Dry called Winterbird and an Old Tom). The references were also introduced to the US market in 2022. The label is linked to production carried out at Brunnur Distillery (Reykjavík) and highlights botanicals collected in Icelandic natural environments.
Production philosophy
To showcase Icelandic botanicals and distillation techniques that emphasize the purity of local water; part of the proceeds is allocated to nature conservation projects in Iceland.
Territory
Iceland — production linked to Reykjavík with botanicals gathered in Icelandic wild areas (product materials mention rivers and the shores of the Westfjords).
Production method
Products described as artisanal and "handcrafted": recipes use local botanicals and involve a slow distillation that leverages geothermal water. The Old Tom is produced following historical recipes (partly using infusions and characteristic sweetening typical of Old Tom).
Distillation
Slow distillation using geothermal energy and water (mentioned as a production characteristic in official materials).
