The star of North Star’s 22nd Series, an Ardnamurchan aged in first fill Oloroso, this batch is the crossover of two things we love very much at the Oak Barrel, being Ardnamurchan & North Star. All that rich spirit texture is preserved despite the intensity of the cask, leading to a bold, densely flavoured whisky, with hints of highland smoke!
Nose: Wet Varnish & Red Kola cubes
Palate: Menthol, Aniseed Balls & a Fistful of Liquorice Comforts
Finish: Ponterfract Cake & Caramelised Banana
North Star have quickly become one of The Oak Barrel’s favourite independent bottlers. Exceptional cask selections at very reasonable prices, they are exciting, fun whiskies – even when they’re very serious – which are designed to be drunk and shared. Winner of Scottish Whisky Awards’ Best Independent Bottler of the Year the last two years running.
