"Great job by North Star. The contrasts between salty meat and creamy fruity sweetness works a treat. If I didn't know any better and were tasting this blind, I'd think that there's a master blender at work here rather than a single hoggy."

"Enjoyed every last sip of this special dram. Enjoyed its fruity character almost like apples pears. And the finish and lovely sweet baking spices. I'd highly recommend it."

"Can't go wrong with this one! It's such a perfect whisky and I fell in love with the fruity flavours. Sipped this while on holiday and it was the perfect winter warmer!"
