At our distillery, we meticulously distill and bottle high-quality spirits. Using our hand-operated 110 liter copper pot still, housed in the centuries-old Reijmyre Glassworks, we focus on creating liquids with balance and rich texture. Our aim is to showcase traditional Nordic flavours and highlight Swedish grain spirits. A key mission is to bring attention to the Aquavit category, offering a delightful insight into Swedish distillation and craftsmanship. We are proud to make Swedish Aquavit, which has a GI.

The EU geographical indications system protects the names of products that originate from specific regions and have specific qualities and enjoy a reputation linked to the production territory.

All our products are exclusivley made from swedish winter wheat grain spirit. Our pot still is run by our Master Distiller Bex Almqvist, and is hand operated. How the still is run is important to the end product; reflux, pressure, temprature and where the cuts are made are examples that reflect the end product.

Visit of the Distillery and insight into liquor production, tasting of 3 products and mini cocktail

**Join us in our distillery and visitor center where we share our knowledge in the creation of well-balanced distillates. **

At Almqvist Distilleri, we carefully produce high quality spirits and highlight the Nordic flavours and Swedish grain spirits. All our products have exclusively Swedish autumn wheat as a base and are distilled in our manual 110-litre copper boiler, located in the historic premises of Reijmyre Glasbruk.

The operation of the copper boiler is crucial for the result and means that our Master Distiller, Bex Almqvist, controls reflux, pressure, temperature and cuts entirely by hand. It ensures that the liquor has balance and rich texture as the end result. 

One of our most important tasks is to give aquavit the attention it deserves, while providing an insight into Swedish distillation art and its craft. We are proud to follow the EU regulations on protected geographical indication for Swedish Akvavit. This means that Rejmyre Akvavit meets special requirements regarding raw materials, production and properties.

After this knowledge-enhancing visit, you who are over 20 years old have the opportunity to shop 700 ml of our products. Please include ID.

The session runs for approximately ninety minutes, you will receive sample size servings of five different classic cocktails and afterwards will have the opportunity to buy a bottle of gin or akvavit from the shop at our brand home so you can mix your own cocktails at home and show off your new found knowledge and mixological skills.
