Himbrimi is a marvellous Icelandic compound gin built around an 18th century Old Tom Gin recipe that features juniper, Arctic thyme, angelica and honey. It was created by Iceland artist Óskar Ericsson to be a thoroughly delicious tipple to enjoy while fishing, and features a bird familiar to fishers on the label (twitchers will also know it - it's a loon!).
Fresh pine and heavy juniper, with vanilla, lavender, basil leaf and freshly chopped thyme.
I first tried this in Iceland last year and brought a bottle back with me. It is simply the most amazing gin I have ever tasted. Somewhere between a whisky and a gin, it has a unique flavour and feel all of its own. Delighted to be able to buy now here in the UK. The creator suggests it can be enjoyed neat, and it can, however, it is lovely over ice simply with ice and tonic and nothing else
