What makes this whisky so special
Starward is an Australian whisky trailblazer, but this is Starward at its award-winning best!
Sumptuous and bold at 52% ABV, it throws away that soft red wine influence and turns to old-school, Old World Portuguese Ruby Port casks for a decadent, lengthy maturation in fortified wine.
The Portuguese Ruby Port casks – shipped to Australia just for this project – have all but obliterated expectations. Bottled unadulterated in a high ABV straight-from-the-cask style, this limited edition blew the distillery founder’s mind:
“So not Starward!” proclaimed Starward’s founder David Vitale when he tried it for the first time. “...And I love it.”
Enjoy an Australian icon with a hand-blown crystal Glencairn glass, valued at $70.
