Starward Solera Single Malt Australian Whisky

From the fabulous Starward distillery over in Melbourne comes Solera, a tasty single malt made with 100% Australian barley and matured exclusively in re-coopered and re-sized Apera (an Australian fortified wine, not dissimilar to Spanish sherry) barrels. The name is of course a reference to the solera ageing system, which Starward spins its own take on to age this whisky.

Starward Solera Single Malt Australian Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: Prune juice and seedless raisins provide a thick, sherry-forward sweetness that is complemented by rich caramel and toasted almonds. A little marzipan lingers underneath.

Palate: A rich, but well-balanced palate begins with toasted oak and more jammy fruit compote – damsons, black currants and dried figs – before creme brulee, milky coffee and winter spice notes emerge.

Finish: There’s a little sawdust and milk chocolate as the dram concludes.

In 2007, Starward Whisky was founded by David Vitale, who branched off to start his own label after kickstarting the Australian single malt movement under the tutelage of Whisky godfather Bill Lark. Vitale, a Melbourne native, established the Starward Distillery in 2016.
