About Brennivín
Brennivín is the caraway-flavoured grain schnapps that Icelanders treat as their national spirit, drunk cold and often with fermented shark at the midwinter Þorrablót feasts. The company lists it among the best-known alcoholic brands it owns. Its plain black-and-white label, a relic of an era when alcohol advertising was discouraged, is now the brand's most recognisable feature abroad.
