This 2011 vintage Speyside single malt whisky from independent bottler South Star Spirits has been meticulously matured for a decade in 10 first-fill hogsheads. The result is a whisky that boasts a bright aroma filled with honeyed oak, vanilla, ginger, cinnamon, and spice. The palate is treated to sweet and spicy flavors of ripe pear, toffee, salt, cinnamon, and a hint of lemon, culminating in a long and warming finish with lingering notes of spice, oak, and salt. As part of the first release in South Star Spirits' "Regional Range," this whisky stands out as a stellar representation of the Speyside region's renowned style, known for its light and fruity characteristics, often with a touch of smoke. South Star Spirits has also announced plans to build a new distillery, Dal Riata, in Campbeltown, which is expected to enhance their portfolio in the coming years. With a strength of 48% ABV and presented in a 700ml bottle, this release is a testament to the artistry and dedication of South Star Spirits.
