Our tour guide, Jon, was wonderful - a good storyteller with a bit of magic thrown in - and engaged the audience. The tastings were fun and informative. I also love the comfy well-made hoodie I bought :0)

My fiancé and I recently had a tour with Rock. Rock was personable, knowledgeable, and a great guide. They had a variety of gin, whisky, and a brennivín that we sampled. Going to Eimverk Distillery is a short drive from Reykjavík and a great addition to a day spent in the area!
Great experience

We had a great Guide who showed us the small distillary and presented how the business grew from the beginning to what they have now. Tasting the spirits along with the story was a lot of fun. The distillery used mainly products found in iceland when possible, making it very unique. Amazing how these small hints could be smelt and tasted. Would definitely recommend and will probably do it again on my next visit.
Must do!

Richie was amazing! We tasted some really great gin, whiskey, and Vin. Richie was so friendly and knowledgeable and was able to explain everything that goes on in the making of the alcohol. He was also very knowledgeable in how to compare how Icelandic alcohol is different than other country’s.
Nothing but laughs
Michelle_M, Mar 2023
Richie was so funny. We had 12 and with his humor we all laughed a lot. It was nice to try many different types/flavors of the liquor produced at this distillery. We would recommend this stop on your trip
Who knew Iceland was a destination for whisky lovers?

We had an awesome tour/tasting with Richie. I'm a whisky drinker - not much for gin or rye - and my wife is a wine appreciator. However, the tasting started scientifically with a "mechanics of tasting" lesson, which is applicable to ALL spirits and it heightened our appreciation of all the spirits we then proceeded to try. Eimverk has only been around for ten years or so, so they're working hard on building the brand and increasing exposure. Their Flóki whisky, Vor gin and Viti aquavit are superb quality liquors and the tour was educational and fun. We met great people, too. Well worth the time and money. We left with 3 bottles - if we weren't traveling, we probably would've purchased more. Great vacation activity and outstanding little facility. A++!
Fantastic tour, fantastic spirits!

We were very happy with our tour. Our host was very knowledgeable, passionate, and proud of their business and product. The tasting was well thought out and the spirits were wonderful. You can tell that a lot of effort has gone into making the spirits stand out and it really reflects on their mission of keeping it local. We especially enjoyed how personable our visit was (we were the only couple at that time) and much enjoyed it! After tasting all, we came away with a few favorites, and a few souvenirs, and went on our way to get some food at Wingin' It (at the recommendation of our host, the wings were great too).
Very informative

Great activity for the evening the day before we left for home. The tour takes just over an hour and is very informative. After several days of day trips out of the city, it was a relaxing last day activity.
The Grand Tour

The tour was fun, lots of sampling and wonderful whisky. Make sure you check out the gin too and the surprise drink that is a winner!

We had a great time! Lots of samples and very funny tour host! Would definitely recommend to someone visiting the city.
Great experience with a great whisky!
Cinthia_H, Sep 2021
It was actually great, we've been in different distillerys and what makes this one special is the treatment from the speaker. He's not in a hurry and makes you feel very confortable, almost like you're having dinner or at the bar with him. Great story teller. We loved it and highly recommended! Plus the whisky is a really good quality.
It was so fun!
