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."
