WE ARE PASSIONATE
ABOUT GREAT SPIRITS
We are in the background of a wonderful memory,
a shared experience
in the pleasures of the table,
embellishing your moments
with friends through the taste and the story
SJØØRN SPIRITS is more than just a beverage distributor
Founded in 2021
Sjøørn Spirits came to life in 2021, born of two brothers, Søen and Bjørn with a common drive to discover unique beverages and share them with you. “Sjoorn” is an amalgamation of our names, a word which in Swedish means the sea eagle, that majestic bird associated with great vision and regality.
Our driving force
We want people to be joyful. There should be laughter and happy chatter at their table. We want them to spend evenings with friends, create wonderful memories, share a meal, a moment, a story, a smile, a taste at their dinner table. And we want them to do it from the healthy and enduring planet that our partners strive to work in harmony with.
Our Purpose
We search out wines and spirits that taste delicious, are not easily found, and are crafted slowly with care by hand. We find producers that care about their craft and create special beverages that have their own story to tell. We especially partner with people who look for ways to make things that are slow and careful.
Our Team
Søren Habisch
Chief Executive Officer
Søren has had a diverse and interesting professional history, always focused on people. Having completed an apprenticeship as a paramedic, he went on to study Industrial Engineering at Bachelor level. He has since worked predominantly in sales, leading teams focused on customer acquisition, strategy, new market analysis and customer management, also completing an MBA in between. Søren is thrilled to be heading a small company with a big heart, leading such a passionate group of people.
Søren loves a glass of full-bodied red wine, ideally our Benincasa La Fornace, along with some strong aged cheese.
Bjørn Habisch
The the one with the Smarts
Bjørn keeps it real here at Sjøørn Spirits. His extensive experience in the world of finance means that while we’re all talking about tannins and notes of red berries, Bjørn is ensuring the hard stuff is under control. With an apprenticeship in insurance sales completed, he also studied economics and financial engineering. He has worked in finance, private banking, wealth management, stock exchange trading and international finance but he is also good at selling you a bottle of wine.
As his work requires so much concentration, Bjorn’s favourite drink has to be coffee.
Sandra Brüning
The Postage Queen
Therefore we’d be lost without our wonderfully organised and structured colleague working in Logistics and Customs, the lovely Sandra.
Sandra completed her apprenticeship in office administration and began to specialise in shipping. By chance she began helping in customs and decided to stick with it, because the never ending new challenges and constant opportunities to learn something different kept her engaged and enthusiastic. We love having Sandra’s careful and experienced hand on all of our shipping needs, because we know we can trust that our beautiful wines & spirits will find their way safely to you.
Sandra is clearly the sweetest amongst us, with her favourite thing to drink being chocolate and milk.

“After a lifetime of having the privilege of tasting some of the finest whiskies ever bottled, I thought I had seen and tasted it all – how wrong I was. The “Ondjaba” whiskey series is a remarkable expression of what is possible when you think completely outside the box. The Ondjaba is an amazing achievement and an incredible whisky.”
