The Story of Spirit of Hven

Located on the picturesque island of Hven in the Öresund Strait between Denmark and Sweden, Spirit of Hven is a world-renowned, family-owned craft distillery. Celebrated for its dedication to quality, innovation, and artisanal spirit-making every bottle tells a story. Spirit of Hven offers a symphony of taste and scent, crafted with precision, passion, and purpose. 

Established to unite the worlds of tradition and science, Spirit of Hven produces a diverse range of exceptional spirits, including whisky, gin, vodka, aquavit, rum, and fruit distillates. Much of the grain used is harvested just outside the distillery by local farmers, strengthening the connection between product and place. The spirits are distilled and matured on-site, ensuring full control over each step of production. The result is a portfolio of rich, characterful spirits that reflect the island's unique environment. None of the whiskies are chill-filtered or contain additives—each is bottled to preserve its natural flavor's full depth and integrity. Spirit of Hven is known not only for its craftsmanship, but also for its use of advanced sensory analysis, blending traditional distillation with scientific precision to perfect each batch.

The distillery is home to its own hotel, bar, and restaurant, offering guests an immersive experience. Visitors are invited to explore the entire journey—from grain to glass—while enjoying the hospitality and heritage that define Spirit of Hven. From the first scent to the final sip, Spirit of Hven delivers a journey of exceptional elegance, where each drop is composed like a symphony—an expression of artistry, tradition, and the pursuit of perfection.
