The Starward Two-Fold Wheat & Single Malt Whisky opens with a nose of bright red berries coated in buttery vanilla spice. On the palate, imagine a smooth, rich caramel dessert balanced by tropical fruit. Delicate and long. A delicious, dry finish from a faded sweetness.
We carefully select barrels from nearby vineyards making bold Aussie reds like shiraz, cabernet and pinot noir. These give our new make spirit tasty fruit, caramel and spice notes.
To keep as much of a fresh red wine flavor profile as possible, we source barrels from just a day's drive away. We either lightly char or quickly blast barrels with steam. Many are still wet with wine when we fill them, contributing to the both the flavor and the rich golden hue of our whiskies.
Whisky Advocate Review:
Sweetly fruity on the nose, with notes of vanilla bean ice cream, Juicy Fruit gum, guava, and passion fruit. Look forward to more fruit on the palate, where Dole fruit cup, ripe raspberries, and melon emerge; eventually, Cool Whip and peppery spice join the fray. A lengthy finish delivers more raspberries, plus vanilla soft serve and the lightest kick of spice.
