ABV: 20%
One of 150 bottles of a highly unusual fortified wine released by indie whisky bottlers, North Star. It's essentially a Pedro Ximenez Sherry, only finished in Scotland with the final maturation taking place in x-Islay Single Malt Whisky casks.
Tasting note: Pours a viscous sienna brown with gold ochre edges. Issues aromas of dates, sultanas, raisin toast and chico lollies followed by unusual suggestions of oyster sauce. Medium bodied with good viscosity and classic PX flavours edging towards chocolate brownie, walnut slice and raisins. More liqueur muscat-like to finish showing moderate length. Pair it with a cheeseboard. 20% Alc./Vol.
