Norse Mythology in a Bottle
Named after the great world tree of Norse mythology, Askur Yggdrasil is a gentle London Dry at 37.5%. The Icelandic character comes through in the clean, crisp profile. A unique gin from a unique place.

Too Light for a London Dry
The Icelandic provenance and Norse branding are appealing, but at 37.5% this London Dry feels too light. The juniper is pleasant but faint, and the overall profile lacks the assertiveness I expect from the style.

Pure Nordic Spirit
There is a purity to Askur Yggdrasil that reflects its Icelandic origins. At 37.5% this London Dry is gentle and approachable, with pristine juniper and a crystal-clear finish. The low ABV makes it dangerously easy to drink.

Elegant Nordic Minimalism
Like Icelandic design itself, Askur Yggdrasil is beautifully minimal. At 37.5% the London Dry profile is clean and uncluttered — pure juniper, crystalline water, and nothing superfluous. Sometimes less really is more.
