Get to know: Askur Gin
A beautifully precise London Dry gin inspired by Nordic mythology and crafted with pristine Icelandic water.
Tasting Note
Askur Gin is a clean, crisp London Dry style that puts balance and purity front and centre. Crystal clear in the glass, it opens with classic juniper freshness, followed by bright citrus peel and gentle warming spice. On the palate, vibrant juniper leads, supported by coriander seed, cassia, and a subtle sweetness from liquorice root. The mouthfeel is smooth and focused, with Icelandic water lending clarity and lift, before finishing dry, fresh, and beautifully composed. This is a premium London Dry gin that feels both modern and timeless.
Top serves:
- Classic Gin & Tonic with a slice of lemon or orange peel
- Dry Martini to highlight its clean, juniper-led profile
- Negroni, where its structure holds its own against bittersweet flavours
Kate Says
"This is a proper, no-nonsense gin done brilliantly well. Crisp, confident, and quietly elegant – it’s one for purists who love a classic style with real finesse."
