- Description
- Starward's Nova is matured entirely in Australian red wine casks sourced directly from wineries producing Shiraz, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet, lightly charred to preserve the wine's influence on the spirit. The resulting single malt carries bold red fruit notes that pair remarkably with rich foods and cocktails alike.
