A super smooth Icelandic Gin that cares about nature.

In 2014, local Icelandic artist Óskar Ericsson decided to create a Gin that reflected the natural botanicals and environment of his home country… something that we could take with him on his fishing trips and into the Icelandic wilderness. To this day he still collects all the local botanicals himself — by hand — during the summer months along the riverbanks where he walks. He infuses his compound Gin and then hand-numbers each bottle of his limited production.

Himbrimi Winterbird London Dry Gin is a very special London Dry Gin that’s slowly distilled with wild Icelandic botanicals, including wild arctic thyme and angelica flowers. The distilling process uses geothermal water and the result is a super smooth Gin. Bring out your crispest tonic and blow your own mind with a superb G&T or make your fav Gin-forward cocktail. BTW, 5% of the revenue will be donated for nature conservation in Iceland. (We want those wild botanicals thriving for a very long time!)

Smartass Corner:
"Himbrimi" is the Icelandic word for the common loon, and translates literally as "heaven howler." In England, it is called a "diver" because it dives into the water to eat small fish and crustaceans.

As with many other Spirits, Gin was originally intended to be used as a medicine—to battle malaria.
Gin gets its dominant flavour from juniper berries. As with many other spirits, Gin was originally intended to be used as medicine. Yeah right!
As producers try to develop new styles and flavors of Gin, to push the category and find a niche, the need for trying new methods of extracting flavors, as well as using more unusual botanicals, has grown.

One such way is the vacuum distillation method, when the redistillation of botanicals takes place in a vacuum.
Hardcore Gin lovers say the word Martini should never be preceded by Vodka, lobster, or pomegranate. They say the original and the only real Martini consists of Gin, Vermouth & olives, period!
London Dry Gin is not always from London. Gin does not have the same geographical restrictions as Spirits such as Cognac, Scotch, or Tequila. Only a tiny handful of London Dry Gins are actually made in the city.
How much Tonic is in a Gin & Tonic? The ideal proportions for a perfect Gin & Tonic is one part Gin and two parts Tonic.
