Overview
The team at STARWARD put together a special whisky just for the Club, created with whisky from casks with a more traditional charring treatment. A combination of charred French oak barriques and American oak hogsheads were used, creating this big, intense single malt that takes Starward’s signature red wine cask to the next level. It’s a malty feast of strawberry jam, blackberries, sultanas, juicy red fruits, oak tannins and deep toast malt that will have you coming back for more. Oh, and it’s bottled at a cracking 48% ABV too. Thanks us later and enjoy!
