Five thousand miles away on a secluded Missouri hillside, oak perfect for the maturation of this whisky reaches straight for the heavens. Here, in the relative shade of these north-facing slopes, we hand-select oak that has grown slowly enough to create a spongier and more porous wood. Perfect for welcoming the spirit and imparting the maximum amount of flavor.
The 'Astar', meaning journey in Gaelic, has certainly come a long way. But with its bright gold colour and smooth but spicy finish, we feel the journey has been more than worth it.

Video Description
Tasting Notes Aromas of rich in toffee and crème-brulee, drizzled with fresh menthol, warm cinnamon and deep aniseed spices. Mint humbugs and a sweet honey-lemon complexity follows. Taste of crème-brulee with a burst of mouth-watering pineapple, poached pears and apricots, smothered with vanilla custard. The finish is long and smooth with a lingering mix of honey and almond, coconut ice and traces of aniseed. Color is bright gold
