Vega North Star Limited Edition No. 2 Whisky 40 Year Old · 1977 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery sheen and mahogany depth, a luminous ruby-tinged glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry-kissed nose, with dark fruit compote—fig, prune and raisin—woven with caramelized orange zest and cacao nibs. Velvet oak, cedar and leather emerge, balanced by tobacco, and a whisper of cinnamon and clove. Rich, grave and luxurious, it hints at the depth to come in the glass.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, this 40-year-old sherry-cask Vega delivers a lush tapestry of dried fig and plum, with bright orange zest and a touch of roasted almond. Cocoa and caramel mingle with polished oak, while cinnamon and clove spice weave through the mid-palate. The finish is long and refined, a warm, coffee-kissed sweetness that lingers with a whisper of smoke.

Finish

Long, velvety finish of raisin and fig sweetness, mingled with dark chocolate and espresso. A whisper of orange zest and toasted spice lingers as sherry‑cask maturity leaves warm leather, tobacco, and polished oak, fading into caramelized fruit.
