Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Warm copper-amber with ruby tints from red wine barrel maturation
Nose
Fruit-forward and approachable — red berries, plum, cherry, vanilla, toffee. Australian red wine influence gives bold fruit character. Chocolate, gentle spice, toasted oak. Melbourne's climate drives rapid maturation
Palate
Medium body. Red wine fruit dominance — cherry, plum, red berries. Vanilla, toffee, milk chocolate. The flagship Starward expression and gateway to Australian whisky. Wine barrel maturation gives a uniquely fruit-driven, approachable character. Smooth and moreish
Finish
Medium finish. Red fruit, vanilla, gentle oak. Clean and smooth. The whisky that put Starward on the world map — six Double Gold medals at 2024 SFWSC
