Description

Starward 100 Proof Australian Single Malt Whisky (700ml)

Volume: 700ml           ABV: 50%           Age: No Age Statement            Country: Australia

The Starward 100 Proof Single Malt Whisky is a robust and flavourful Australian whisky from the innovative Starward Distillery in Melbourne. It’s a higher-strength expression, bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), which contributes to its bold character.

What makes this whisky particularly interesting is its maturation in red wine barrels sourced predominantly from the Barossa Valley, a renowned wine region in Australia. These barrels, previously used to age big, bold Australian red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, impart a rich mouthfeel and contribute to the whisky’s unique flavour profile.

Starward is known for its focus on using local ingredients and its commitment to a distinct Australian style of whisky making. The 100 Proof is a testament to this philosophy, showcasing the influence of Australian wine casks on the spirit.

The Starward 100 Proof is a whisky that delivers a powerful and complex flavour experience. It’s a great choice for those who enjoy higher-strength whiskies with a rich, wine-influenced character. Whether you prefer to sip it neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail, this whisky is sure to impress.
