# Arctic Fjord Whiskeys Isfjord Whiskey is Made Using Water From Ancient Glacier Ice By Mary Van Puymbroeck | Published 2017-06-14 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isfjord-whiskey References: [uncrate](http://uncrate.com/article/isfjord-arctic-malt-whisky/) & [thewhiskeywash](https://thewhiskeywash.com/whiskey-styles/world/isfjord-whisky-denmark-made-arctic-iceberg-water/) Isfjord whiskey is crafted in a very special way. The creators of this [single-malt whiskey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exclusive-single-malt-scotch-whiskies) only use free-floating ice collected from a fjord to craft this fine spirit. Pure ice that is harvested from Greenland Cap Icebergs have been preserved for upwards of 180,000 years. Isfjord whiskey makers assert this protects the ice from pollution and keeps it pure. The ice is manually gathered in the fjord after it breaks off an iceberg and scatters through the ocean, eventually making its way to the fjord. Isfjord Premium Arctic Single Malt No. 1 uses [non-peated malt barley](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/copenhagen-distillery-whisky-rare-no4) and is aged in Oloroso Sherry casks from Spain for eight to nine years. Isfjord Premium Arctic Single Malt No. 2 is made with lightly peated malt barley and aged in [American oak casks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-oak). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Glacier Water Spirits:** Advancements in sourcing and using glacier water in the production process of spirits. - **Natural Ingredient Spirits:** Incorporating pure and naturally sourced ingredients into spirit production processes. - **Limited Edition Spirits:** Creating limited edition spirits by using rare and unique ingredients in the production process. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Alcohol and Beverage Production:** Exploring alternative, natural, and environmentally-conscious ingredients and methods in the production of alcohol and other beverages. - **Luxury Goods:** Incorporating rare and unique ingredients in luxury goods manufacturing to appeal to high-end consumers. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Promoting tourism and hospitality in regions where unique and rare ingredients are sourced for spirit production. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Low-Temperature Aged Whisky Expressions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-fox.md) - [Mountain-Aged Malt Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-teton-distillery-1.md) - [Beer-Infused Malt Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/malt-whiskeys.md) - [Island Provenance Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/port-charlotte-islay-barley-2014.md) - [Unique Scotch Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whistlepig-whiskeys.md) - [Prestigious Peated Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/36yearold-single-malt.md) - [Wine Cask-Aged Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ardbeg-smoketrails-napa-valley-edition.md) - [Opulent Scotch Whiskies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glenfiddich-1.md) - [Eco-Friendly Biodynamic Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterford.md)
