EUROPEAN DISTILLERY OF THE YEAR
WORLD OF WHISKY AWARDS 2017
Hven is a beautiful green island in the strait of Öresund between Denmark and Sweden. It is only 5-miles in circumference with a population of 350 people.
After 8 years of planning, the distillery opened in 2008 by Anja and Henric Molin. This is the third pot still distillery built in Sweden. It has since developed into a major player throughout Europe.
Spirit of Hven Backafallsbyn Distillery also holds its own hotel, bar and restaurant, where the traditions and heritage of the products can be shared.
