North Star Campbeltown Spirit Amaretto Liqueur – 70cl 50.2%

The North Star Campbeltown Spirit Amaretto Liqueur is a distinctive and unconventional release from North Star Spirits, combining the character of Campbeltown spirit with the rich, sweet and nutty profile associated with amaretto liqueur.

Bottled at an impressive 50.2% ABV and presented in a 70cl bottle, this is a considerably more powerful proposition than a traditional amaretto. The high bottling strength provides intensity and structure while the amaretto influence introduces layers of sweet almond, marzipan and confectionery-style richness.

Campbeltown is one of Scotland's most historic whisky-producing regions and is celebrated for producing spirits with distinctive combinations of malt, coastal salinity, fruit, oiliness and subtle smoke. Bringing these characteristics together with an amaretto-inspired profile creates an intriguing release for adventurous whisky and liqueur enthusiasts.

Produced by Glasgow-based independent bottler North Star Spirits, the Campbeltown Spirit Amaretto Liqueur 50.2% is an unusual addition to the company's portfolio and an excellent choice for anyone seeking something beyond conventional Scotch whisky.

Campbeltown Spirit

Campbeltown occupies a special place in the history of Scotch whisky. Once home to dozens of distilleries, the small coastal town became internationally renowned as a major centre of whisky production.

Today, Campbeltown remains an officially recognised Scotch whisky region and is prized by enthusiasts for its distinctive regional character.

Typical Campbeltown whisky characteristics can include:

• Rich malt
• Coastal salinity
• Orchard and dried fruits
• Oily texture
• Vanilla and caramel
• Gentle smoke
• Maritime character
• Warming spice

The use of Campbeltown spirit gives this North Star release an intriguing Scottish foundation beneath its sweeter amaretto-inspired character.

Amaretto-Inspired Character

Amaretto is traditionally associated with rich flavours of almond, marzipan, stone fruit and sweet spice.

Combined with the deeper malt and coastal characteristics of Campbeltown spirit, these flavours can create an unusual balance between whisky-like richness and dessert-style sweetness.

At 50.2% ABV, this expression offers significantly greater intensity than most traditional liqueurs, making it particularly interesting for experienced spirits enthusiasts.
