Single Malt
Glenmorangie // Highlands, Scotland
"Astar" is Gaelic for "journey" and in the Astar's case; it is referring to the long journey the barrels made from the Ozark Mountains where the wood was sourced to Scotland where the whisky is aged.
These barrels were heavily toasted, lightly charred ex-bourbon barrels.

Tasting Notes
"The wood really comes through on the nose followed by pears and citrus peel. The dram is fairly smooth on your palate, but the proof intensifies the cinnamon and coffee aspect. With water, you get more of a honey sweetness and brighter fruit."
