Welcome to Gotland. The largest and most mythical island in the Baltic Sea. Famous for its cultural heritage, vast beaches, cobblestone streets, limestone quarries and ancient sea stacks.

With a brewing tradition going back to the Viking Age and the privilege of having the best soils in Sweden, a climate that is perfectly suited for agriculture and last but not least many years of experience in the field of sustainable and organic agriculture.

And since 2012, Gotland is also known for its very own whisky, the Isle of Lime, an organic single malt that has achieved great success among whisky lovers.

Back in 2004, in Roma Sockerbruk’s old industrial premises, a modern distillery was created, with specially designed machines, to be able to produce 60,000 liters of organic malt whisky per year. Eight years later, in 2012, the first drops were distilled and in 2016 the first edition was released.

So who better to tell us more about the distiller’s fascinating story to-date than Christer Roslund, chairman of the board at Gotland Whisky. In this episode, Christer tells us about the early days of the distillery, it’s importance to the people of Gotland, why he’s more enthused than ever about the liquid they are producing and of course, the road ahead.
