Starward Solera Australian Single Malt Whisky (700ml)

Volume: 700ml           ABV: 43%           Age: No Age Statement            Country: Australia

Starward Solera is a single malt whisky from Melbourne, Australia. It’s primarily matured in re-coopered and re-sized Apera casks, which are Australian fortified wine casks similar to Sherry. Starward uses a solera system, blending small portions of younger whiskies with more mature ones to create a consistent flavour profile.

Overall, Starward Solera is a complex and flavourful Australian whisky that balances sweetness and spice. The Apera casks give it a unique character, with rich fruit and caramel, while the solera system ensures consistency and depth. It’s versatile and enjoyable neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails.
