HIMBRIMI OLD TOM GIN
A unique Old Tom Gin with hints of wild arctic thyme, angelica flowers, and honey.
The name "Himbrimi" means “heaven howler” and is the Icelandic name for the loon (Gavia immer).
This gin is based on early 18th century gin recipes and is inspired by the scent of wild botanicals that grow along the banks of lakes and rivers in Iceland.
The outcome is a sweet, floral and complex gin, like nothing you have ever tasted before. Himbrimi Gin is to be enjoyed straight from the bottle while fly-fishing in a flowing river, and is perfect for mixing into your favorite cocktail back at the cabin, after spending a long day outdoors.
