A Starward independently bottled by SMWS, matured in a first fill ex-red wine Barrique. A whisky just bursting with fruit, Kirsch cherries, dark chocolate, dried citrus and plenty of wine spice to share around. One of 271 bottles and the third Australian bottle ever released by SMWS.
In classic Australian style, this whisky has absolutely rippled flavour out of its cask. However, while I was expecting spiky youth in the spirit and the abv, it drinks with a maturity and ease that belies these facts. I have since bought two bottles. Absolutely delicious and as good, if not better, than it’s Scotch peers
