Arctic Distillery Visits

Tours and tastings at distilleries producing spirits from Arctic ingredients — cloudberries, seaweed, birch sap, and glacial meltwater, creating flavour profiles impossible to replicate anywhere else on Earth. Lyngen Alps Distillery in Norway is a notable pioneer of this growing trend, while Tasmania's whisky scene has developed a global reputation using some of the world's purest water. A warming and fascinating complement to any Arctic itinerary.
