Bothy by Ralfy – A Collaboration with North Star Spirits

The North Star Bothy by Ralfy 11 Year Old brings together two respected names within the independent whisky community.

Ralfy Mitchell is widely recognised for his independent whisky reviews, educational videos and longstanding enthusiasm for traditionally produced Scotch whisky. His approach focuses on authenticity, individuality and the appreciation of whisky beyond conventional marketing.

North Star Spirits has developed a reputation for sourcing and bottling distinctive Scotch whiskies, including single malts, blended malts and limited independent releases.

The Bothy collaboration reflects a shared appreciation for flavour, character and the traditional craft of whisky making.

The name Bothy evokes the small shelters found throughout the Scottish countryside, traditionally offering warmth and refuge to walkers and travellers. It is a fitting name for a whisky designed to be shared, discussed and enjoyed.

A Blend of Five Scottish Single Malt Whiskies

Unlike blended Scotch whisky, which may contain both malt and grain whisky, blended malt Scotch whisky is produced exclusively from single malt whiskies originating from more than one distillery.

North Star 11-Year-Old Bothy by Ralfy combines five malt whisky components, creating a layered expression influenced by several of Scotland's most distinctive whisky-producing regions.

The blend comprises:

Teaninich Distillery - 29%

Undisclosed Campbeltown Distillery - 28%

Auchroisk Distillery - 19%

Caol Ila Distillery - 14%

Undisclosed Speyside Distillery - 10%

Each component contributes to the overall character of the whisky.

The Highland malt from Teaninich brings a distinctive foundation, while the Campbeltown component introduces the regional character associated with one of Scotland's most celebrated whisky-producing areas.

Auchroisk adds Speyside malt character, while Caol Ila introduces the unmistakable influence of Islay whisky. The undisclosed Speyside component completes the composition.

The result is a multi-region Scottish blended malt that showcases the possibilities of combining mature single malt whiskies into a single, balanced expression.

Eleven Years of Maturation – Bottled at 54.1% ABV

The 11-year-old age statement guarantees that the youngest whisky used in the blend has matured in oak casks for at least eleven years.

This extended maturation allows the individual malts to develop depth and character before being brought together in the final composition.

Bottled at 54.1% alcohol by volume, Bothy by Ralfy offers a substantial drinking strength that appeals to enthusiasts who enjoy expressive, full-flavoured Scotch whisky.

Its higher bottling strength also makes it well suited to experimentation with a few drops of water, allowing drinkers to explore how the aromas and flavours evolve in the glass.

North Star Spirits – Independent Scotch Whisky Bottlers

Based in Glasgow, North Star Spirits is an independent Scotch whisky bottler known for sourcing distinctive casks and creating expressions that celebrate the diversity of Scotland's whisky industry.

Rather than operating as a single distillery, North Star Spirits selects whiskies from established producers and releases them under its own independent bottling labels.

Its portfolio appeals to enthusiasts seeking distinctive single cask Scotch whiskies, blended malt releases and expressions that offer an alternative to mainstream distillery bottlings.

The collaboration with Ralfy demonstrates the independent bottler's appreciation for whisky enthusiasts who value individuality, provenance and the experience of exploring different whisky styles.
