Iain Croucher, experienced in the whisky industry, founded North Star Spirits. He wanted to share unique spirits and explore Scotch whisky flavours. The company focuses on choosing high-quality casks from different distilleries. Each cask is picked for its unique traits and potential to offer something special.
Portfolio of Whiskies and Spirits
The brand has a wide range of single malt and grain whiskies, blended malts, rum, and gin. Their spirits vary in age, region, and flavour. They range from young and vibrant to mature and complex. Each bottle is the result of careful cask selection.
Independent Bottling and Cask Strength
North Star Spirits specialises in independent bottling, often at cask strength. This approach keeps the spirit's true essence, without dilution. Cask-strength bottlings are popular for their intense flavour. North Star Spirits' releases show each cask's unique characteristics.
Limited Edition Releases
Many of the bottlings are limited editions. These are sought after by collectors. Limited runs, often from a single cask, capture unique ageing and flavour aspects.
Sourcing and Collaboration
The brand works with distilleries and cask suppliers. This collaboration gives them access to rare and interesting casks. It reflects their commitment to exploring and celebrating Scotch whisky diversity.
