Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Light gold with warm amber tints; lighter colour than Nova reflecting the wheat grain component
Nose
Light and approachable — vanilla, caramel, red apple, gentle red wine fruit. The wheat component adds a soft, sweet cereal character. Accessible and versatile as a cocktail base or neat sipper
Palate
Light-medium body. Soft and sweet — vanilla, caramel, red apple, gentle berry fruit. Wheat grain gives smooth, easy-drinking character. Red wine barrels add just enough fruit sweetness. Designed as Starward's most accessible expression and cocktail whisky
Finish
Short-medium finish. Vanilla, gentle fruit, clean. Approachable and versatile. The entry-level Starward at an accessible price point
