Our vision is reflected in our company name. The North Star is the anchor of the northern sky. It is a landmark, or sky marker, that helps those who follow it determine direction as it glows brightly to guide and lead toward a purposeful destination. It also has a symbolic meaning, for the North Star depicts a beacon of inspiration and hope to many. North Star focuses its energies on the curiosities, peculiar oddities, and obscurities - whisky as it comes, straight from the cask and into a bottle - without any fancy tricks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e51.1% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"North Star Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54524442116421,"sku":"000342","price":199.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9495\/8661\/files\/4678641623_d6adf233-d3fa-454d-86f1-d28d5cb5ce09.jpg?v=1746551954","url":"https:\/\/b1yyjg-bk.myshopify.com\/products\/north-star-spirits-23-year-old-1993-blended-malt-whisky-2017-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation Old","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
