The Helsinki Distilling Company
At the Helsinki Distilling Company we are bringing distilling back to Helsinki, after an absence of over a hundred years. We produce distillates of the highest quality and offer a full range of distillery experiences from tours to hands-on production. All our products are hand-made from local high quality raw materials – with flair.
