About Iceland
Iceland is an island nation located in the North Atlantic Ocean. The official language is Icelandic, and English is widely spoken. Its economy is largely known for marine fisheries, renewable geothermal energy, and international tourism.
The spirits market
Alcohol is legal in Iceland, though off-premises retail is restricted to the state monopoly, ÁTVR, and commercial imports require a licensed wholesaler. Spirits face a 0% import duty, an excise duty of 192.85 ISK per centilitre of pure alcohol, and 11% VAT. Domestic producers make gin, vodka, aquavit, brennivín, schnapps, and single malt whisky. Exporters of premium spirits, aged rums, and whiskies can access monopoly tenders and on-premises venues by partnering with local wholesale licensees.
