Starward Australian Whisky Single Malt '100 Proof' is a bold expression crafted in the heart of Melbourne, Australia. This whisky celebrates local terroir with maturation in American oak red wine barrels, many of which once held robust cabernet and shiraz from the Barossa Valley. Bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), it offers an intense, full-bodied drinking experience suited for those seeking complexity and depth. 

The nose greets you with lush aromas of vanilla pods, blackberry jam, toasted oak, and ripe plums, evolving into fig and raisin undertones. On the palate, the whisky is rich and decadent, unfolding layers of chocolate ganache, Muscadelle raisins, quince paste, and hints of cinnamon. A baked banana bread essence rounds out the flavor profile, creating a warm and satisfying sip. 

The finish is long, coating the palate with baking spices and lingering notes of ripe figs and oak sweetness. Its robust character makes it a versatile choice, whether enjoyed neat or with a touch of ice to open up its velvety complexity.
