Asta Morris NOG No Ordinary Gin

Crafted in Belgium by independent spirits selector Bert Bruyneel of Asta Morris, this unique gin is produced by taking a traditional small-batch gin base and aging it in spent single malt Scotch whisky casks (typically sourced from iconic distilleries like Glenburgie or Benriach) for several months.

Food Pairing: Rich charcuterie, aged Gouda, dark chocolate, smoked salmon, or braised pork belly.

Tasting Notes: Pale golden straw in appearance with a rich, round, and slightly oily mouthfeel influenced by its malt whisky cask finish.

Nose: Intensely complex, opening with piney juniper and bright citrus zest before giving way to delicate vanilla, toasted oak, malted barley, and subtle stone fruit.

Palate: Harmonious balance between classic crisp gin and smooth Scotch whisky, featuring layers of pine juniper, citrus oil, sweet vanilla, toasted oak, honey, and light baking spice.

Finish: Long, warm, and sophisticated with lingering notes of dry oak, gentle malt sweetness, and lingering juniper spice.

Serve: Serve neat at room temperature in a Glencairn glass, over a single large ice sphere, or as the base of an elevated Old Fashioned.
