Orkney 13y/o North Star Cask Series 10 59.6%abv 30ml

Solid Highland Park from North Star - some people pick up a hint of sulphur and don't like it. I love it - its a bit dirty and funky with a hint of peat and salt.

Serge's notes: http://www.whiskyfun.com/2019/A-few-HP.html

I think Angus tried this one before, but Angus is Angus (wow, S.!) Colour: white wine. Nose: less smoke in this one, rather a briny and acidic nose at first (lemon juice), then a very chalky development, with also some fresh bread and whiffs of beach sand at low tide. Angus wrote some longer note, check it! With water: wet wool, sourdough, flour and all that. After all, this is barley eau-de-vie. Mouth (neat): tight and punchy, once again close to the original distillate, with just hints of coffee, bone dry chenin, and just bags and bags of chalk mixed in/with lemon juice. Shakes your spine, and that’s good. With water: oh how good is this? It’s got some best-mezcal quality that I couldn’t possibly refute. Finish: long, brilliant. Comments: love it, j’aime ça, ich liebe es, quiero mucho this, mi piacere a lot… And psst, were I the distillery, I would be proud to have my name on such as whisky. Just saying.
