Tasting Notes
Askur begins with wheat distillate produced in the Champagne region of France that has been column-distilled 7 times. This pristine distillate is carbon filtered and then combined with a highly concentrated botanical distillate that includes juniper, coriander, angelica, citrus, licorice, and cassia. After the two distillates are combined, the final product is brought to proof with the low mineral, high-PH Icelandic water that makes Askur—and its sister brand Helix—so approachable. Top notes of evergreen and lime zest are tempered by a soft and silky mouthfeel, followed with a lingering finish of peppercorn spice. 45% ABV

"This Icelandic gin has a really lively nose, serving rich, concentrated bursts of juniper, coriander, and citrus peel. Notes from the grain base come out on the palate, where the alcohol is notable but well-incorporated. This gin is robust and ready for spirit-forward cocktails. It would not only hold its own in a Negroni, but it would also add character, with its spicy notes complementing the bitterness of Campari and taming the sweet vermouth."
