Icelandic Glacial Sparkling

5000 years ago, long before anyone stepped foot on Iceland, a massive volcanic eruption occurred, creating the Ölfus Spring deep below the surface. Since then, water has filtered slowly through layers of lava rock, creating a naturally alkaline water with the perfect mineral balance. Shielded by an impenetrable layer of lava rock and surrounded by a 128,000 acre exclusion zone, the spring, one of the world's largest, is constantly replenished by a gradual filtration of rainfall and snowmelt over uninhabited and untouched lava fields.

Icelandic Glacial was the world’s first bottled water to be certified as carbon neutral for both product and operation. The sculpted, glacier-inspired bottleneck was also named "Best Overall Concept and Best Label" at the Bottled Water World Design Awards.

High purity, smooth mouthfeel, slightly sweet taste — maybe the cleanest tasting of the natural spring sparklings. Very light carbonation. Honestly the best/worst part is that I've been told many times this is the same exact source for Iceland's tap water. Jealous.
