Dalmunach 2016-2022 - 6 Year Old - North Star Spirits - Cask Series 021 - Single Cask

Dalmunach is a large Speyside distillery constructed by Chivas Brothers (Pernod Ricard) in 2013 on the site of the old Imperial distillery. Dalmunach is equipped with eight large stills, giving it a capacity of around 10 million litres per annum, the vast majority of which goes to Chivas’ blends.  

Distillation at Dalmunach began at the end of 2014, and the first official bottling of Dalmunach single malt whisky was released in 2019, though so far the distillery bottlings have been small batches for sale only at Chivas distilleries. Independent bottlings of Dalmunach are also relatively rare but some Dalmunach casks have been bottled by Duncan Taylor, Dram Mor, Claxton’s and North Star Spirits among others.

North Star Spirits is an independent whisky bottling company founded in Glasgow in 2016 by AD Rattray alumnus Iain Croucher. North Star quickly established itself as one of the most popular of the recent wave of Scottish independent whisky bottlers thanks to a prolific series of top class whiskies released in eye-catching packaging at sensible prices. North Star Spirits was named Independent Bottler of the Year at the Scottish Whisky Awards in 2020 and 2021.

Besides their excellent single cask and small batch single malt releases, which are bottled without colouring or chill filtration and are usually at cask strength, North Star have also released several outstanding blended malt and blended Scotch whiskies alongside occasional bottlings of rum, gin, bourbon and Pedro Ximenez fortified wine.
