Polaris 2.1 – 7YO Single Pot Still – ex Red Tokaji – ABV 56.5%

Introducing the latest release from the Polaris Collection—a captivating 7-year-old Single Pot Still whiskey from the esteemed Great Northern Distillery. This distinctive edition was carefully chosen for its unique character, further enhanced by the influence of a Tokaji cask. After maturing in ex-bourbon barrels for the majority of its years, the casks were meticulously combined and underwent an 11-month finishing period in a single 300L Hungarian Oak Barrel.

The marriage of Tokaji, renowned for its quality, and the Hungarian Oak imparts an exquisite spice to this delightful whiskey. Take a moment to savor the experience:

Nose: Revel in the welcoming notes of fresh fruit, honey, red berries, dark oak, and spice. Allow the whiskey to breathe in the glass, revealing its true depth.

Taste: Indulge in the textured and oily richness, with distinct bites of plum, intricate complexity, and hints of dried fruits, figs, and almonds.

Finish: A dry and medium finish leaves a lingering warmth, with the added spice and subtle echoes of orange peel and vanilla dancing on the palate.

Fun Fact: The reddish hue from the Tokaji cask is a nod to its previous life, having first aged a rare Pinot Noir before embracing the sweet essence of Tokaji.
