Starward Solera Single Malt is a Gold Medal Winner at World Whiskies Awards 2016, 2017, 2019. The original STARWARD is solely matured in Australian fortified wine barrels, which are hand selected, re-coopered, re-toasted and re-sized specifically for aging our spirit. These barrels have formerly contained Apera, which is an Australian take on Spanish sherry. These barrels are 40-50 years old and have rich and complex flavors of dried fruit, spice and sweetness.
