Our history
Isle of Møn Spirits was founded in 2016 by Sara and Uffe Skaaning Lind. We are based in Askeby on Møn, where we have converted our old barn into a distillery. Here we hand-sort today's harvest and distill the botanical ingredients individually. In late summer, when the last extraction is finished, we taste our way to the right composition, which makes the products from Isle of Møn Spirits a unique and delightful experience - just like Møn's beautiful nature.
Isle of Møn Spirits began as an experiment. We wanted to find out if it was possible to make a traditional gin exclusively with the local botanical ingredients (so-called botanicals) that grow naturally on Møn. This has since evolved to also include several varieties of gin and schnapps.

Local botanicals
Only using botanicals from Møn has its limitations, as many traditional gin ingredients do not grow wild in Denmark. With the help of our local herbal expert, we have found out which herbs are possible to use and when they are best to gather.
What others often perceive as weeds has a colossal value to us!
Our ingredients are carefully selected and handpicked at precisely the time when the flavor is strongest and best. We extract the fresh herbs - this is how we ensure authentic quality products every year.
