Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep copper-ruby with rich amber highlights; the darkest Starward core expression from extended wine barrel maturation
Nose
Bold and intense — dark fruit, black cherry, plum jam, dark chocolate, espresso, leather. Extended wine barrel maturation gives the deepest, most complex nose in Starward's range. Toasted oak, vanilla, gentle spice. A premium step up
Palate
Full body. The boldest Starward — dark cherry, plum jam, dark chocolate, espresso. Rich leather and toasted oak. Wine barrel intensity dialled up to maximum. Designed for the whisky drinker who wants Australian terroir at full volume
Finish
Long finish. Dark fruit, chocolate, espresso, leather, oak. The most persistent finish in Starward's core range. Premium positioning at $129 RRP reflects extended maturation
