Hovdenak Distillery

Hovdenak Distillery Hovdenak Distillery is an highly awarded Icelandic craft distillery that offers private tours. Therefore the water in Stuðlaberg Gin is only filtered naturally.

Our most awarded product is Stuðlaberg Gin and it has rich flavors of juniper berries, citrus, orange, a hint of cardamom, and a subtle taste of licorice. It is smooth and handcrafted in Iceland with pure Icelandic water. The Icelandic water is the purest and most refreshing water you will ever find and Icelanders are very proud of it. The water comes straight from our natural springs only filtered through lava and rocks over thousands of years, it’s a magical process. This gives you an incredibly smooth and crispy tasting water like no other, just imagine yourself drinking silk, it’s that good! Icelandic water has an uncommonly high pH, which makes it naturally alkaline. All the ingredients are weighed and grinded through a mill. After the grinding they are put in maceration with alcohol where the ingredients get to sit together for a few days making them quite absorbent to the alcohol and releasing the beautiful essential oils that we all love so much. After few days in the tank it´s connected to our unique continuous still where the distillation process takes place at negative pressure allowing the Gin to be distilled at much lower temperature than regular methods, making the Gin extra smooth and refined. After the distillation the only thing added to the distillate is water. Please enjoy,
