About Egils Malt
Egils Malt is the dark, sweet, non-alcoholic malt drink the company has made since 1913, its first year of production, when malt extract and white ale were most of what it sold. It is drunk year-round but is above all a Christmas fixture in Iceland, where it is mixed with Egils Appelsín in a glass to make the seasonal drink known simply as malt og appelsín.
