North Star 1996 Glenrothes 20 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

North Star 1996 Glenrothes 20 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Volume: 700ml           ABV: 54.6%           Age: 20 Years Old       Country: Scotland            Chill-Filtered?: Non-chillfiltered

An independently bottled single malt Scotch whisky from the Glenrothes distillery. Now there are many bottling’s of Glenrothes on offering at the moment but someone had to produce something a little different to standout, introducing North Star Spirits.

This whisky was matured in a refill Sherry Hogshead Barrel. It must a have been of exceptional quality and I have no idea why Glenrothes Distillery gave away this spirit to an independent bottler. It is outstanding whisky.

This whisky was distilled in October 1996 and then bottled in October 2016. Only 252 bottles produced worldwide.
