Our Story
"Close your eyes for a moment and step into the enchanting heart of the North, embraced by the magical nature of Kuusamo. Here, where the whispers of the forests, the crystal-clear waters of the lakes, and the dance of the Northern Lights tell a story from years past, Finnish Distillery Company Oy came to life.”
Kitee, where our current factory stands, carries a rich tradition in the production of spirits. But our home, Kuusamo, where our new factory will be built, means more to us than just a location on the map. It's a wellspring of inspiration, flowing from pure streams and illuminated by the Northern Lights. With nearly 20 years of experience in harnessing the gifts of nature, we have a solid foundation to plan and execute our production seamlessly. For years, we dreamed of our own distillery, and when the opportunity finally came, we seized it immediately. Our vision has been clear from the start – to create only the best, using nothing but the finest ingredients. The journey of product development has been a long one, almost a six-year odyssey, before we reached the level we aspired to.
Our purpose is not just to create exceptional products but also to evoke emotions, create experiences, and generate stories worldwide. We want these stories to arise from passion, love, and the pure ingredients of the North. The four seasons, where the Northern Lights dance, the polar night descends, Santa Claus travels, thousands of lakes glisten, and small brooks babble, are the wellsprings of our inspiration. We hope these stories are not just for us but also for future generations. We hope they can continue to create stories and experiences, carrying forward the traditions and pride of the North.
Proud but humble,
Markus and Mikael
