Starward Tawny Port Cask Australian Single Malt Whisky
In stock
A Limited Relase Port Cask matured offering from Melbourne's Starward Distillery. Starward matured their signature single malt whisky in Tawny fortified wine barrels. Each barrel was a smaller 100L octave size which provides an extra full-bodied taste from more interaction during maturation. For the perfect balance of character Starward used a combination of fresh Tawny barrels from Yalumba for vibrant fruity flavours and charred Tawny barrels from SA Cooperage to add toasty oak complexity. With notes of raisin, brown sugar, fig and dried orange, it’s the ultimate whisky for pairing with blue cheeses like stilton and roquefort, with rich desserts or, as a digestif.
