Having cut their teeth in helping establish the High Coast distillery in Sweden (then known as Box), the founders of Nordic Whisky Capital set up Agitator Whiskymakare in 2015, opening the distillery just three years later.
Very much a non-traditional producer, Agitator distillery using high-tech vacuum distillation and advanced ageing practices. Its single malt spirit is produced in four peated and non-peated styles and it also experiments with other whisky categories, launching an American-style straight rye brand called Blind Seal in 2019.
Single malt from Agitator distillery is bottled under the same brand name and was introduced to market in November 2021, just three years after the distillery's first spirit run. Despite being only 3-years-old, the whisky was significantly more mature than would be expected due to the distillery's use of vacuum distillation, temperature controlled warehousing and experimental wave-shaped staves in its casks.
The distillery currently offers its proprietary single malt alongside an expression aged in ex-Islay casks, and a series of small batch releases of various experimental whiskies in a series called Argument.
