LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

Modern Australia in a bottle. It breaks all the traditional rules of scotch-style aging and is all the better for it. It is accessible, delicious, and distinctly 'winey'.

The Library Note

Produced in Melbourne, a city obsessed with food and coffee, Starward was designed to be a 'food whisky.' They collect fresh barrels from nearby Yarra Valley wineries (Shiraz, Cabernet, Pinot Noir) and fill them while they are still wet with wine, imparting an immediate, intense fruit character.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Like a fruit basket. Red berries, orchard fruits, and soft woody spices.

THE PALATE

Juicy and vibrant. Flavors of red wine, plum pudding, cinnamon, and berries.

THE FINISH

Dry and tannic, like a good red wine.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

Neat, or surprisingly specific: with a slab of dark chocolate. It also makes a killer Manhattan.

Composition

Malted Barley

Corn

Rye

Spring Water

EXPERT TECHNIQUE

Single malt barley, fermented with brewer's yeast for fruitiness, aged entirely in Australian red wine barrels.
