The Premier Lineup for the Masons of Yorkshire Grayslake Tasting
Nuvo Spirits sources outstanding, independent products from historic distilleries across the globe. Stop by during our afternoon market hours to enjoy free samples and learn about the unique distillation processes behind these featured bottles:
-
Masons of Yorkshire Dry Gin (The Original): This beautifully structured British gin is slowly distilled in copper alembic stills with pure Yorkshire water. It leads with a bright, crisp juniper aroma, opening up to clean citrus oils and a warm, pleasantly dry, peppery botanical spice on the finish.
-
Ogilvy Spirits Scottish Potato Vodka: Crafted on a single family farm in Angus, Scotland, this estate-grown potato vodka offers remarkable structural depth. The liquid delivers a warm, creamy mouthfeel with subtle notes of sweet charcoal, green pasture, and a smooth, stone-fruit-accented finish.
-
Black Beak Maple Mayhem Irish Whiskey: An exceptionally smooth, double-distilled Irish whiskey matured in oak and finished in rich maple syrup casks. The palate is thick and decadent, balancing toasted wood, warm vanilla bean, and a lingering trail of sweet maple sweetness.
-
Freihof Mirtillo Bilberry Liqueur: Hailing from an iconic Austrian distillery founded in 1885, this vibrant liqueur utilizes real, hand-selected wild bilberries. It pours a deep, intense violet color, delivering a luscious sweet-and-sour profile packed with natural forest berry acidity and complex herbal undertones.
