Ólafsson was born in Iceland in honor of Eggert Ólafsson, the beloved Icelandic traveler and nature lover who dedicated his life to spreading the indigenous culture and unique natural beauty of the country. Intricate and intriguing, this gin captures the power of Icelandic nature. It is based on juniper, diffuse notes of flowers and citrus, earthy aromas of spices and a subtle touch of sea wind. But what really characterizes his Icelandic identity are the special notes of arctic thyme, birch and mountain moss that spread across the palette. All together they blend masterfully with Iceland’s virgin water, filtered into volcanic lava.
Taste: Crispy and clean on the palette, with classic cereal and juniper flavors. This is followed by flowers, citrus, earthy spices, mineral water and notes of sea air. Slightly bitter with a creamy feel and aromas of arctic herbs such as thyme, birch and mountain moss.
Nose: Lime peels, fresh ginger, kiwi notes, earl grey tea, peppercorns, angelica roots and pieces of broken juniper.
Aftertaste: Long finish, round with a long-lasting flavor.
