Australian craft whisky at its best! This heaving Starward, created exclusively for The Whisky Club, gets its sumptuous flavour from a lengthy maturation in Portuguese Ruby Port casks, and comes with the Club’s exclusive hand-blown crystal Glencairn whisky glass for extra enjoyment. Read More
Colour Russet
Nose Fresh blackcurrant, dried apricot and raisin with caramel chews and nutmeg.
Palate Mulberry and fig, swathes of butterscotch, and candied orange. Finishes with dry spice, salted dark chocolate, prunes and macadamia.
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.
Price: $190.00
