North Star Whisky

North Star Spirits is based in Glasgow and takes one simple principle to its extreme: small batch, non-chill filtered, natural colour, always cask strength.

About North Star

North Star Spirits is a small independent Scotch bottler with a simple philosophy: 'Small Batch, Un-Chillfiltered, Natural Colour and always Cask Strength', based in Glasgow. They find the best casks and bottle them for whisky lövers, but also have bottlings in the blended whisky category. For the newcomer, cask strength and non-chill-filtered whisky is a more intense, authentic experience than the diluted standard releases; for the connoisseur, North Star Spirits, created by Iain Croucher, is one of the respected names among independent bottlers who specialise in selecting the finest casks from all of Scotland's whisky regions and bottling them as single-cask releases.

History & Background

North Star Spirits was founded by Iain Croucher, who, after many years in the whisky industry, decided to start his own independent bottling company in Glasgow. The company's philosophy is uncompromising: no chill filtration, no artificial colouring and always cask strength, an approach that prioritises a whisky's raw, unmanipulated character over commercial consistency. North Star has quickly built a reputation among whisky enthusiasts for finding surprising, well-chosen casks from both well-known and lesser-known Scottish distilleries.

Production & Style

The whiskies are bottled cask by cask from distilleries across Scotland, giving them a varied, complex character.
