Volsted Distillery

Located just south of Aalborg, in the north of Denmark, Volsted Distillery is a micro distillery which has already won a number of prestigious awards.

The estate of the distillery is beautifully located in the Lindenborg river valley where nature tranquillity and silence inspire have inspired the owners to make some great tasting spirits.

Water is a very important part of making great tasting spirits both for maceration, distilling and mixing with the final product. Volsted Distillery has its own well where spring water is collected deep beneath a drumlin which was formed by glaciers called “Storbjerg”. The unique quality and taste of the water contributes greatly to the flavour profiles in these spirits.

Thorbjoern Ravn Kaagaard, the founder, has utilised his background in process engineering and schnapps making to move into the field of distilling and gin production. "It has truly been a dream come through to design and build both the still the production premises and developing the recipes from scratch to be able to supply customers and fellow gin enthusiast with great tasting spirits. All our gin is distilled on a 100 litre still of our own design, using pot and vapor infusion techniques and bottled and labelled by hand".
