Einar's whisky
The weather plays a crucial role in shaping the character and flavour of whisky. Situated in the heart of the North Atlantic, we harness the distinct climate of the Faroe Islands to perfect our whisky.
The dynamic weather patterns and consistent temperatures create an ideal setting for the maturation process, ensuring our whisky develops its rich flavour and character.

First batch whisky
The White Lamb is a raw whisky distillate. This is the first raw whisky distillate to be made in the Faroe Islands and it is an unaged single malt. The whisky is created from a combination of clear mountain water and yeast that has been specifically developed for the White Lamb. The White Lamb has an ABV of 45% and comes in 50CL bottles. The name “White Lamb” is a tribute to Föroya Bjór’s long-standing mascot – the ram.
