Welcome to a land of volcanoes and glaciers and fields of lava rock and towering waterfalls of spring water. Rugged and beautiful. The reyka distillery – iceland’s first distillery – is located in borgarnes iceland. For those unfamiliar with icelandic that’s pronounced bor-gan-ess. 40% abv located 74km outside of reykjavik this coastal village is removed from industrial life and surrounded by wonderful natural resources. To help paint a picture of how untouched the resources are here the co2 levels in borgarnes are actually falling. The air is really that clean.
