Description
STARWARD began with a simple idea; imagine a whisky unshackled from tradition. One which borrows from the past and marries it with the best of what Australia has to offer.
The original Starward is solely matured in Australian fortified wine barrels, which are hand selected, re-coopered, re-toasted and re-sized specifically for aging our spirit. These barrels have formerly contained Apera, which is an Australian take on Spanish sherry. These barrels are 40-50 years old and have rich and complex flavors of dried fruit, spice and sweetness. The products name derives from a traditional method of inventory management. We have adopted a modern approach to the solera system to ensure consistency of ever batch of Starward. It also means that every Apera barrel we have ever emptied is in every bottle of Starward Solera.
Beginning / A twice distilled single malt whisky. We ferment Australian malted barley with brewers' yeast for an extra flavourful craft finish.
Middle / Solera is fully matured in carefully selected Apera casks, an Australian fortified wine that's similar to Sherry. The traditional way we blend Solera means there's a drop of our original cask in every bottle.
End / Rich and well balanced. Jammy fruits, creme brûlée and spice with a lingering dry finish.
Future / Sipped neat, over ice or shaken up in a classic cocktail.
