North Star Spirits Vega 1996 22 Year Old Legendary Blend Limited Edition Number 6 (2019) 70cl

A phenomenal creation by the indie bottler, North Star Spirits.

We love an NSS product here since they only do great stuff and have a huge focus on quality. Just take a look at their 2024 releases. 50 Year Old Blended grain! Vega blends and many more that are just sublime

The history of this whiskey contains both American and European oak and that is noticeable. Dark and deep vanilla mixes with tobacco, berries and cherries, after which the oak adds another depth to the whole.

Tasting Notes

Nose : Semi-sweet, dried fruits (raisins, prunes), nuts, caramel, some cardamom and cloves, sweet oranges, a hint of mint, light herbal.

Palate : Rather dry with some pepperiness, plum jam, caramelized orange zest, herbal notes, soft oak comes later

Finish : Medium-long, dry, nutty, slightly bitter, with leathery and woody notes

About North Star Spirits

Astronomy plays a massive part in the storytelling narrative of our core whisky range. Our vision is reflected in our company name. The North Star is the anchor of the northern sky. It is a landmark, or sky marker, that helps those who follow it determine direction as it glows brightly to guide and lead toward a purposeful destination. It also has a symbolic meaning, for the North Star depicts a beacon of inspiration and hope to many. North Star focuses its energies on the curiosities, peculiar oddities, and obscurities - whisky as it comes, straight from the cask and into a bottle - without any fancy tricks.
