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.


With a smooth and luxurious mouthfeel, the finish is long and warming, showcasing the depth of character developed through this unique maturation. Bottled at 48% ABV, Starward Tawny #2 captures the essence of Melbourne’s climate and heritage, making it a highly sought-after release for whisky enthusiasts.
