Tasting Notes

About:

Double grain mash bill of 60% wheat and 40% malted barley. Finished in Australian red wine barrels. Bottled at 40% ABV. Priced around $35 for a 750ml bottle.
Appearance:
A golden, toasted amber that blends into a fiery, light red hue. Like a beautiful sunset in the distance.
Nose:
Toasted hazelnuts and fresh, sweet berries. Aromas of slightly burnt toast and oak, followed by the scent of rich, creamy brown butter.
Palate:
Sweet berry jam on buttered toast. Warm, creamy grains mixed with fresh cream and rich, melted caramel.
Finish:
Comments:
Starward Two-Fold Double Grain Australian Whisky is made with a combination of malted barley and Australian wheat. It has the light aroma of tart red berries, sweet buttery toast, and creamy vanilla, with a spicy warming finish. rnrnI drank it neat and it wasn’t the right fit for me. This would be a great choice as a mixer for a fruity tropical drink. Try mixing it with a splash of sparkling apple cider and some fresh raspberries.
