North Star | Nicks

For North Star's founder, Iain Croucher, independent whisky bottling is a "beyond exciting" industry that mostly flies beneath the radar of mainstream consumers. It's also a challenge: “We've had a few let-downs mixed with triumphant purchases that are worthy of late-night celebrations”, explains Croucher. “Being offered a cask of whisky that you know is different from anything you’ve ever tasted, and being able to put my label on it must be up there with some of the best jobs in the world". More than ever, the latest selections deliver the kind of diversity and excitement we've come to expect from this bottler, backed up by North Star's reputation for high quality and (sometimes) considerable age statements.
