Starward Peated Finish

Special Features: The experimental bottling from the Starward Distillery combines Australian whisky tradition with a smoky Islay finish. After aging in selected red wine barrels, the whisky undergoes a final refinement in casks that previously held peaty Islay whiskies. This rare combination brings forth an exciting fusion of continental climate and maritime smoky flavor.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Fruity notes of red berries and tropical fruits meet fine, sweet smoky aromas.
• Palate: Juicy with a beautiful balance between tropical fruit sweetness and spicy peat smoke.
• Finish: Long-lasting, elegant with a pleasant salty note and lingering smoke.

Distillery/Bottler: The Starward Distillery from Melbourne is known for its innovative single malts that mature in Australian wine barrels. Inspired by the vibrant culinary scene of their homeland, Starward focuses on accessible and characterful whiskies that are also progressive. With the “Starward Projects,” the distillery places special emphasis on limited experiments beyond conventional whisky paths.
