A - Good question! It’s not always easy as I also have a full time job in marketing and sales within ski tourism but since I would like to be self-employed one day I feel like I have to try my hardest to make that dream come true and that means taking as many opportunities as I can whilst keeping up the work I’ve already built.

The craft of making whisky in Sweden starts with the pure, natural ingredients that the country is known for. The pristine water, sourced from Sweden's untainted rivers and underground springs, is a crucial element.

Some distilleries also use casks that previously held Swedish wine or berries, which can add unique fruity or tart notes to the final product.

It’s still something I’m really interested in and I would love to opportunity to work even more with different drinks and spirits from all over the world and how they are linked to the culture and areas where they originated and are made today. At the same time I feel like there sometimes can also be quite a hysteric must-buy mentality around certain bottles and massive disappointment if you miss out which also feels a little bit unreasonable in some situations. If anyone knows how to clone yourself or get a few extra arms that would be extremely helpful but I try my best and believe that one day the hard work will pay off in the direction I wish for.In 2013 the distillery was awarded Gold Outstanding by the IWSC and Three Golden Stars by the International Taste and Quality Institute for Moment Glöd single malt whisky.
