Indie bottlings from new distilleries are always rather intriguing, and North Star Spirits has managed to get its hands on some fab single malt from Ardnamuchan (and frankly, most of the releases from the distillery itself have been incredibly exciting too, so this is a double whammy of awesomeness). This expression was distilled back in 2015, and matured for 5 years in a first-fill barrel until 2021, when it was bottled up at 52.5% ABV with an outturn of 247 bottles.
Brown bread with marmalade, flakes almonds, fruit buns, toasted sugar lending a smoky hint.
Honeyed malt with a tangy hint of mango and lemon, rounded by wafts of dry smoke.
Subtly savoury on the finish with more smoke and a smidge of sea breeze.
