South Star Spirits Is a whisky bottling company born from 4 whisky enthusiasts who are building a distillery in the heart of one of Scotch Whiskies most cherished regions
We are celebrating this new addition to the magical world of distillation by releasing a small batch range of matured single malt whiskies to let you know we’re here…hello!
The Dál Riata Distillery will be located in the heart of Campbeltown producing single malt scotch whisky with traditions and styles that are consistent with whiskies distilled and matured on the western seaboard.

Islay – on Islay, whisky is life and life is whisky.
Furthermore, to quote Leo Tolstoy, ‘life is love’. You’ll rarely meet an Ileach who isn’t greeting you with ready cheer whilst pressing a dram into your hand.
The island is known for its peat smoke – peat reek to some – and they take their whisky seriously too.
Once the seat of the Lord of the Isles, men to rival any King of Scots, Islay is a Gaelic culture, a story-telling, welcoming place with people at its heart.
No wonder the whisky is as memorable as the place!

Official Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich and intense smoke, some gentleness to it

Palate: Distinct peat, vanilla and salt

Finish: Lingering ashy notes with just enough oak
