Starward Unexpeated Whisky

Starward Unexpeated is a limited-release Australian single malt that pairs Starward's signature red wine barrel maturation with a twist of peat smoke. The whisky is first matured in Australian red wine barrels, then finished in casks that previously held peated whisky from Islay distilleries, bringing smoke to a spirit known for its juicy, fruity character.

On the nose, expect tropical fruit alongside medicinal peat, cacao and toasted oak. The palate offers juicy red berries, coastal saltiness, toffee apple and milk chocolate, all tied together by hints of smoke, before a rich and earthy finish. Bottled at 48% ABV, it is a balanced whisky for those who enjoy complexity and an unexpected touch of smokiness.
