Using barley harvested from Icelandic soil combined with world famous Icelandic spring water, we crafted the Flóki recipe. Craftsmen designed and readied our custom distillery. And we painstakingly adjusted, tested, and perfected each element over four years and more than one hundred trials. We made ready for the long sleep that fine whisky requires.
Flóki Single Malt
This first edition of Flóki Single Malt was released in November 2017 when it became the first Icelandic single malt whisky. It is a single barrel bottling aged for 3 years in ex-Flóki Young Malt barrels stored at Bjálmholt, our family farm. With a subtle yet complex flavour this malt puts its own twist on the traditional whisky experience. In 2020 Flóki Single Malt Whisky received a gold award in the London Spirits Competition.
Flóki Single Malt - Sheep Dung Smoked Reserve
Our Sheep Dung Smoked Reserve is a truly unique smoked malt. Here we apply an old traditional Icelandic smoking style using sheep dung to smoke the barley. The result is a unique whisky with a complex flavour profile. Pleasant nose with fruitcake notes, honey and stewed apple. Hearty and herbal hints on the palate with a background reminiscent of tobacco leaves. Sweet smoky notes compliment the intense flavour of the Icelandic barley and a rich, lingering aftertaste that evokes the old rural Icelandic countryside. It is a single barrel bottling aged for 3 years in ex-Flóki Young Malt barrels under the base of mount Hekla.

Sherry Cask Finish
First released in 2019, this reserve is matured in American oak and finished in first fill Oloroso sherry casks from Spain. The Sherry cask lends Flóki the delicious smell of stewed apple with hints of custard almond and sherry notes. Savory sherry notes compliment this whisky on the palate with cooked fruit, toffee and gingerbread.
Flóki Single Malt
Icelandic Birch Finish
Birch is one of Iceland’s few native trees and one of the most abundant. Therefore it is a natural addition to our purely Icelandic spirits. First released in 2019, this reserve is matured in American oak casks for 3 years and finished for 3 months with Icelandic birchwood. The porous birch complements this whisky, lending the flavour notes of apple blossom, heather and moss with the sweet taste of honey, licorice and mint. The aftertaste leaves you with the subtle flavour of cinnamon, nutmeg, and dried fruits follows.
Flóki Single Malt
Beer Barrel Finish
First released in 2019, this reserve is matured in American oak and finished in a cask that previously held a brewer’s choice seasonal stout beer from one
of Iceland’s craft breweries. The stout infused oak gives a unique smoothing licorice tone to the character resulting in a whole new whisky tasting experience.
