Starward Tawny #2 is an exceptional single malt whisky crafted by Starward Distillery in Melbourne, Australia, and is part of a limited edition series that showcases the unique influence of tawny (port) fortified wine casks. Fully matured in both fresh and charred Australian tawny casks, this whisky draws richly from the wood, bringing a complexity of flavors distinctive to the region’s wine tradition.
On the nose, Tawny #2 reveals tropical aromas alongside dried raisins and a touch of toasted oak. The palate offers a rich combination of brown sugar, caramel, and notes of dried fruits, layered with hints of spice and wood influence from the tawny barrels.
Starward Whisky, founded in 2007 by David Vitale, is an Australian distillery located in Melbourne. The distillery is renowned for its innovative approach to whisky production, utilizing locally sourced ingredients and maturing its spirits in Australian red wine barrels.
