Austre, the beautiful beach in the south of Gotland where you see the sun both rise and set in the horizon. Not far from shore lies a small islet, and the shallow water lets you walk all the way to it. The beauty is breathtaking - but the scenic walk is deceiving and the water is treacherous. When the wind blows, the current grows strong and pulls down those that try to reach it.
That balance, between beauty and danger, has inspired the taste of Austre – a whisky that keeps you grounded, and happy right where you are. Wherever that may be.
