PRESIDENT
I was born and raised in the small town of Sandur, on the island of Sandoy in the Faroe Islands, and I lived there until I moved to Denmark to study at university. What I thought would be a short stay turned into 25 years. I loved my time in Denmark, but like many Faroese, I always felt a strong pull to return home – to raise my family surrounded by the nature, language, traditions, and culture that mean so much to me.
My husband and I spent many years living abroad, but over time, the longing for our family, our culture, and the sense of adventure and freedom the Islands offer became impossible to ignore. I am who I am today because of my upbringing in Sandur, and I wanted my children to have the same opportunities and experiences I had growing up. So, we came home.
62Nordic Organic Vodka was born from that same love for this place. I know that most people in the world will never have the chance to visit the Faroe Islands and see its striking, untamed beauty for themselves. With 62Nordic, my hope is to share a taste of this special place – so that, in some way, people everywhere can experience it too.
