VOR PREMIUM GIN
Icelandic Pot Distilled Gin
Icelandic Gin
100% Icelandic
GIN
“VOR” is Icelandic for spring. The Arctic spring is our inspiration and with it comes the sharp taste of an Icelandic summer.
We hope to capture the essence of Icelandic nature with our unique blend of wild Icelandic juniper berries, rhubarb, and other selected Icelandic herbs.
Vor is made from 100% Icelandic barley. The barley is grown at the arctic circle in a cold climate, resulting in a hardy and full flavoured base for our gin.
All our botanicals are handpicked and native to Iceland. We take great care in selecting only the best available herbs and botanicals available each season.
Traditional Pot
DISTILLED
Our premium gin is pot distilled using our custom made small batch distilling unit. This method gives us a truly unique spirit base from the Icelandic barley, and all of the essential oils of the botanicals are carefully preserved in the distilling process.
The master distiller watches over each batch of Gin and carefully monitors the process selecting the best part of each distillation cycle in order to ensure quality and good taste.
VOR is made from 100% Icelandic barley grown on the Southern shore of Iceland.
100% Icelandic Hand Picked

SWEET KELP
“VOR is non chill filtered in order to fully preserve the flavor of the Gin, this makes it slightly hazy like a glacial river when you mix and cool it. This truly brings out the Icelandic spirit in our arctic cocktails.”
