What it is

The turf-house schnapps tradition: Icelandic herbal liqueurs and schnapps — bjórlíki's descendants include moss and angelica schnapps (the fjallagras and hvönn flavourings of the old farmhouse), made today by craft distilleries (and the famous 'Eimverk' whiskies — Iceland's first single malt, Flóki). Origins: farmhouse flavouring of spirits with Arctic herbs (angelica, moss, birch, juniper) is old; modern craft distilling dates from 2009 (Eimverk). Made from: grain spirit, Icelandic botanicals; whisky from Icelandic barley, sheep-dung-smoked in one famous expression. How it's made: 1) Distil in small copper stills. 2) Flavour or cask-age. 3) Bottle small and proud. Served: at Reykjavík bars and farm stays. Flavor: herbal, smoky, northern. Strength: 37.5-47%. Culture: Iceland's whisky is young but its schnapps herbs are ancient — the new distilleries bridge both. See also: Brennivín, Icelandic Beer.
