Starward Solera

Rich, complex original.

Gold Medal Winner at World Whiskies Awards 2016, 2017, 2019.

Tasting Notes:

Beginning: A twice distilled single malt whisky. We ferment Australian malted barley with brewers' yeast for an extra flavourful craft finish.

Middle: Solera is fully matured in carefully selected Apera casks, an Australian fortified wine that's similar to Sherry. The traditional way we blend Solera means there's a drop of our original cask in every bottle.

End: Rich and well balanced. Jammy fruits, creme brûlée and spice with a lingering dry finish.
