What is Local Spirits?
Local Spirits is Denmark’s dedicated B2B distributor that brings together Danish micro-producers’ spirits all in one place. As the Danish spirits scene has grown, so has their range — now representing everything from Danish and organic gin, rum, whisky, vermouth, and liqueur to fruit wine, mixers, syrups, and even alcohol-free alternatives. They come straight from the heart of Danish craft production, always staying updated on what’s happening in the local spirits world. It’s not just about selling bottles; it’s about challenging traditions and shaking up the industry’s old dogmas.
Main Benefits of Local Spirits
Here’s what makes Local Spirits stand out:
- Over 300 products from 21 Danish producers
- About 40% of the range is organic
- Products come in price-saving circular packaging, reducing waste
- Focus on local, organic, and climate-friendly options
- Personal collaboration only with producers who share their passion
- Customers include bars, specialty shops, restaurants, hotels, and festivals
Commitment to Organic and Climate-Friendly Packaging
The mission here is crystal clear: promote locally produced spirits and beverages that focus on organic quality and climate-friendly packaging. They carefully select products based on three key criteria — Danish origin, organic certification, or packaging that cuts down on single-use glass bottles in the on-trade sector. Ideally, products tick all three boxes, but at least one is a must. This approach significantly reduces the CO2e footprint in the industry, making sustainability more than just a buzzword.
Personal Relationships with Producers
Unlike many distributors, Local Spirits only works with producers they know personally — folks who share their passion for craft and quality. They steer clear of becoming a one-stop-shop for multinational global brands. This means every product they offer is something they stand 100% behind. It’s a relationship built on trust, pride, and a shared vision for the future of Danish spirits.
Expanding the Danish Spirits Scene
The Danish spirits scene has been booming, and Local Spirits is right there in the thick of it. By gathering micro-producers under one roof, they’re helping to expand the market and make local, organic, and climate-friendly options more accessible. Their range is diverse, covering everything from classic spirits to innovative alcohol-free alternatives, reflecting the evolving tastes of consumers and businesses alike.
