Starward Nova Whisky

Starward Nova is a distinctive single malt whisky from Melbourne, Australia, from a distillery renowned for its progressive approach and uniquely Australian maturation. It is fully matured in Australian red wine barrels, which Starward sources soon after they are emptied and fills while still wet with wine, giving a deep amber hue and a rich, fruit-forward profile.

Expect a bold nose of red berries, dark chocolate and orchard fruit. The palate recalls a chocolate and raspberry dessert, with vanilla, caramel and soft spice, before bright red fruit gives way to a touch of oak on a soft, long finish. Bottled at 41% ABV, Nova is designed to be highly approachable, whether enjoyed neat, in a highball or as the foundation for a whisky cocktail.
