Description
First released in 2008, Astar (Gaelic for ‘Journey’) is a single malt matured entirely in bespoke oak casks hewn from hand-selected slow-grown oak trees in the Ozark mountains of Missouri. Re-released as a limited edition in 2017, this Highland single malt has a newfound rich and creamy complexity. There’s rich butterscotch and honey balanced with floral top notes and fresh mint on the nose, alongside some lemon and coconut. The palate is smooth and creamy with crème brûlée, tropical fruits, vanilla custard and hazelnut, before fudge, cloves, toasted oak and a touch of menthol. The finish is smooth and lasting with honey, almond, and a hint of aniseed.
