Founded in 2008 by David Vitale, the Starward distillery moved to Port Melbourne in 2016. A 7,000-litre still has been installed to replace the old 1,800-litre wash still, which was kept on as a spirit still. This bottling was first matured for three years in a charred American oak barrique having previously contained an Australian red wine, and then for two years in an Australian Tawny port cask. The incredibly well-balanced palette of flavours and aromas reveals an intensely fruity, spicy and malty character.

Nose : Full-bodied, unctuous. Behind the beautiful notes of beeswax and polished wood, the first nose expresses voluptuous fragrances of apricot, orange zest and violet. With aeration, red fruits (strawberry, raspberry) and marshmallow intensify this fruity register.

Appearance : Cuivre orangé.

Palate : Lively, distinguished. The intensely peppery and almost hot attack reveals subtle flavours of gooseberry jam, praline and salted butter caramel. The mid-palate and end of the palate then deliver an admirable ode to malted barley.

Overall : Slender, assertive. With breathtaking maturity, the finish first wavers between toffee and fruit (apricot, quince jelly). The beautiful powdery (cocoa) and candied (ginger) after-taste is characterized by succulent notes of Corinthian raisin and ripe banana.
