Gotland Whisky produces spirit in the Swedish island's Roma district, in a converted industrial building marked Gotland Whisky. The island setting and use of organically farmed grain give the distillery a distinct identity.

The Isle of Lime name connects the brand to the limestone geology and island environment of Gotland. Early releases were numbered or limited before more familiar branded bottles appeared.
