The Speyside Star is a 12 year old single malt produced in Speyside at an undisclosed distillery and bottled by North Star Spirits for the Millennial Range. These whiskies were released as an exploration of the whisky production region of Scotland and show off each region's defining qualities.
Milk chocolate buttons and red Jelly Tots. A good helping of malt keeps it from becoming to sweet.
Cinnamon, toffee apple and yet more chocolate.
Chewy barley, black pepper, sherry and a hint of treacle tart.
I got to this North Star malt via Ralfy and I haven’t been disappointed at all. This is a very good quality malt indeed especially given the price. Very similar to Glenfiddich 15 only very more robust, complex and a much longer length. Interesting to try at 50% but needs water to beautify it.
