Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep ruby-copper with mahogany highlights; premium cask selection gives the richest colour
Nose
Premium concentration — dark fruit, black cherry, plum, dark chocolate, espresso, leather, aged oak. The finest cask selection from Starward's warehouses. Rich, complex, and multilayered. A collector's expression
Palate
Full body. Concentrated and complex — dark cherry, plum, dark chocolate, espresso, leather. Premium cask selection at 52% ABV delivers intensity. Each sip reveals new layers. The most premium limited Starward expression at $150 RRP
Finish
Very long finish. Dark fruit, chocolate, espresso, leather, oak. Persistent and evolving. A showcase of what Australian whisky can achieve at the premium end
