Our story is a simple one of dedication to foraging for flavour. We take our chance to capture the short arctic summer by gathering delicious berries and botanicals from the Icelandic wilds. The unique, rich local harvest can only be completed by our own hands at Reykjavik Distillery and those of our network of farmers and foragers. From picking in the hills of Icelandic valleys to the handcrafting in the distillery, there\u2019s hard work and great care in every part of our processes. This time and effort is reflected in the quality of our products that we proudly supply to the finest local bars and restaurants. It\u2019s our pleasure to distil the flavour of Iceland into the fine craft spirits that grace your glass.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]Abundant and beautiful, Icelandic blueberries are one of the most delicious ingredients in the sub-arctic larder. Picked wild, these juicy berries ripen from late July until the end of September. Traditionally used in jams and pies or served with cream or skyr, Icelanders associate these dark blue berries with the best of times.<\/p>\n
We recommend you continue this tradition by attempting to fit in some sweet liqueur wherever you see possible, especially when it\u2019s time for dessert. 64\u00b0 Reykjavik Distillery’s Blueberry Liqueur is bursting with the intense flavour of wild blueberries and is just as irresistible as a freshly foraged handful. Enjoy it as an aperitif, over ice or as a playful cocktail ingredient.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”200px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Carefully distilled together with the essential caraway, Angelica is a true taste of Iceland. Traditionally, angelica is known for it\u2019s uses as a tonic to treat various ailments, now it\u2019s the flavour in our spirit that keeps out the harsh arctic winter.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”707″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”100″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”654″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28″][vc_column_text]On the moss-covered lava fields of Iceland crowberries grow wild and organic, ripening in late July and available until late autumn. Often neighbouring bright bilberries and blueberries, this dark shiny berry is a rather different character. Delightfully fresh and slightly bitter, the crowberry is subtler than it\u2019s more flamboyant cousins though just as widely used.<\/p>\n
Finding their way into breakfast, desserts and juices the crowberry is as useful as the other Icelandic berries but we think the deep colour and delicate tang of these dark berries is best harnessed in liquor. 64\u00b0 Reykjavik Distillery Crowberry Liqueur captures a true flavour of Icelandic nature, and with it a taste of the traditions of the land of fire and ice.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”200px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28″][vc_column_text]With the first harvest of rhubarb, traditionally the 17th of June, spring is truly under way. The glossy crimson stalks of this perennial plant are as distinct in their appearance as they are in taste – their unique flavour and delightful tartness as welcome in pies and jams as it is in cakes and on dinner plates. With its rich mineral content, bright colour and delicious taste, it\u2019s easy to see why rhubarb is part of every Icelander\u2019s store cupboard.<\/p>\n
In simpler times, a tender stick of rhubarb was a common sweet for the children of Iceland – pilfered from a neighbour\u2019s garden and dipped in sugar with every bite. 64\u00b0 Reykjavik Distillery\u2019s rhubarb liqueur captures the freshness and purity of Icelandic nature and offers a new way to enjoy a distinct and much-loved flavour. Indulge in tradition and reawaken your sweet tooth with this twist on a classic.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”653″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”100″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”715″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28″][vc_column_text]As summer draws to an end, Icelandic families head into the uplands to pick wild bilberries. Glistening with light-blue fruit, vaccinium uliginosum is found low to the ground on moors and mountainsides. Juicy and pleasantly sweet, the berries are traditionally used for jam or as a treat with skyr, our traditional Icelandic yoghurt.<\/p>\n
Crammed with vitamin C and antioxidants bilberries have become even more popular in these health-conscious times – it\u2019s with your welfare in mind that the delicate flavour and beautiful colour of the Icelandic bilberry is explored in our small batch liqueur. 64\u00b0 Reykjavik Distillery blureberry Uliginosum Liqueur is crafted from selected bilberries in small quantities. The Liqueur is fantastic neat on the rocks.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”200px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28″][vc_column_text]As Iceland\u2019s only native evergreen tree, juniper is well adapted to the harsh natural environment, growing low and shrub-like as arctic winds whip across the lava fields. Even if weather conditions happen to be favourable, juniper berries can take up to two years to ripen – so with this in mind, we celebrate the hardy character of juniper with its own spirit.<\/p>\n
As it\u2019s often used as a gin spice and muddied by other flavours we decided to let the pure flavour of juniper flourish as reward for all of its hard work. Einiberja from 64\u00b0 Reykjavik Distillery is a true small batch Gin, where clear juniper taste comes into its own.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”716″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”100″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”710″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28″][vc_column_text]The Caraway seeds used for 64\u00b0Brenniv\u00edn are mainly foraged in Vi\u00f0ey, a small quiet island a short boat ride from Reykjavik. Used whole, the seeds have a pungent, anise-like flavor and aroma. Though traditionally used for spicing bread, caraway is the key flavor of Brenniv\u00edn, the spirit of Iceland.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”200px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
