The Icelandic gin industry is relatively new, with the first domestic gin being launched in 2010. Since then, at least 9 more Icelandic gins have hit the market. The harsh Icelandic climate means that there are limited homegrown botanicals available - mainly tree bark, angelica and birch - so most Icelandic gins include botanicals sourced from overseas. Icelandic gin makers benefit from easy access to the country's glacial water, which is filtered through volcanic rock. Read on to discover some of the best Icelandic gins available!
