Almqvist Destilleri
Almqvist Distillery was founded in 2022 by Bex and is located in Rejmyre, in the eastern Swedish province of Östergötland. Everything is done by hand: distillation, bottling, and labeling. Nordic Dry Gin was the first product, followed by Rejmyre Akvavit. At the age of eighteen, she left Sweden to work in the restaurant industry abroad. It only took a couple of years before she landed the job as bar manager at the legendary The Lonsdale, then considered the world’s best cocktail bar. Her professionalism, lovely personality, and positive drive caught the attention of many global producers.
After several successful years in London, the adventure continued with The Absolut Company, where Bex worked as an ambassador and Marketing Manager for 10 years. During and after that time, she has been extensively hired as a consultant by both bar owners and spirits producers around the world. Among other things, she has been hired as a lecturer for producers and the bar industry, an author, and had the prestigious role of sitting as a jury member at the Tales of the Cocktail Awards in New Orleans.
Bex’s international career lasted for 20 years and spanned five continents, accumulating tons of experiences along the way. Today, she is back in Sweden, and there are no plans to slow down. The next step has already been taken with the founding of Almqvist Distillery in 2022.
