Askur - Yggdrasil 45 Gin
Askur Description
Askur Yggdrasil (ig-dri-sil) is the name of the Tree of Life in Nordic mythology. In literature, the tree is located in the center of the Nordic universe, joining the nine realms. Askur Yggdrasil Gin evokes this appropriately Nordic heritage by sourcing high quality ingredients from all over Europe that are joined together in one distillate.
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
