North Star Spirits Glen Moray 2007 (9 year old) 57.7%
Bourbon Hogshead/ Dist: Nov 2007 Btl: Sept 2017/ Tasted: Oct 2017
Wonderfully fragrant with oodles of exotic fruit – pineapple, banana, peach and pear, along with sweet barley and buttery oak. This is a real fruit fest in a glass! Late hints of charred oak and honey.
The palate opens with some subtly sweet honey, vanilla and grippy barley. There’s some almost sweet corn-like notes and just enough lime to balance. Subtly estery with hints of pineapple and apricot on the middle. Long, crisp, citric finish with a tongue tingling finish. Stunning!
Water emphasises the creamy oak and natural oils. On the palate it brings out a touch of granulated sugar.
