Eimverk Distillery Visit
Tour Overview
Eimverk Distillery is Icelands’ first and only whisky distillery and a perfect destination for whiskey fans and for anyone with an interest in Icelandic Spirits. They are also the only distillery producing spirits from 100% Icelandic barley, they make Flóki whisky, Vor, their premium Gin, and Víti which is their old style traditional Icelandic Brennivín. According to our taste buds Víti, this notorious Icelandic speciality Brennivík which became famous for its nickname “Black-Death”, is a much milder version of its original competitor and dear we say a safe try! If a visit to the Eimverk Distillery is not on your agenda, you can sample Víti Brennivín on our incredible Northern Lights Tour.
