An absolute must while in Reykjavik! - We had a great tour with Rok! Very informative and a huge selection of gins and whiskies to taste. They have some really fantastic unusual whiskies - my favourite was the sheep dung smoked whisky! A great way to spend a couple of hours.

You can taste the sheep, in a good way! - I love whiskey and always trip to go to a distillery tour whenever I'm in a new place! This one exceeded my expectations. Usually, when at a tour you get to try one to 4 spirits. Not here! I think we got 12 tastes plus a delicious gin and tonic. It was easy to lose track of the quantity. Rock, our tour guide had fun antidotes about the distilling experience while also being very informative. We laughed, drank, and were educated. I bet you are curious about the title. Well they have a whiskey that is smoked with sheep dung instead of peat. This unique and sudden flavor really incorporates the Icelandic scenery into a delicious terroir unlike anything else. I love places that create a unique experience. If I'm back in Iceland a stop here will be a must but at the beginning of my trip so I can drink the lanolin whiskey while looking at the creature who help create the flavor.

Great Icelandic Spirits Experience - While the distillery is rather small, the staff are amazing. They talk through the history of Iceland, and the impact of the climate on their ability to include or grow various ingredients for their products. They're generous with their tasting pours with a welcome gin & tonic and many sample from their various products. Their focus is to highlight Icelandic ingredients. Absolutely fantastic experience. Would recommend taking a cab or the bus, but they do offer drivers a 'takeaway tasting' for later.

Awesome cultural experience - The experience is awesome. The guide took the time to explain the Icelandic culture, brewing process, gin, whiskey and local alcohol. We were there for 2.5 hours. Highly recommend the tour

- Absolutly amazing!!!! The Best Whisky Distillery Tour in Iceland. And even more! We had a „private“ Tour, because no one else booked the tour on this day. Others would have canceled but we got an amazing Tour tour with lots of Drinks, Knowledge, regional tips and also FUN and Jokes. This Family Business Distillery can also keep up with the big ones in terms of taste and expertise! Thank you so much for this Experience!

- We had a really great afternoon booked at the distillery — it was supposed to be a one-hour tour, but we ended up spending well over an hour and a half there. We had the privilege of tasting pretty much everything the distillery has to offer. The photo above shows the number of glasses for just two people! Our tour guide was incredibly funny, super engaging, and shared lots of great background info — both about the distillery and Iceland in general. Highly recommended! If you’re ever in Reykjavik and even remotely into whisky, this place is a must.
