- Description
- Distilled in 2018 and aged in small octave barrels that previously held Yalumba's Octavius Shiraz, this Starward project benefits from intense wood contact and Melbourne's warm maturation climate. The result is a bold single malt at 48% ABV, layered with ripe stone fruit, warming spice, and rich oak influence extracted by the small cask format. Best enjoyed neat or with a touch of water to unlock the full complexity.
