Starward Tawny
Starward is a relatively small distillery in Melbourne, Australia. Tawny is a fortified wine style that exists in Australia. It is very much similar to Port, a fortified wine produced in the Douro Valley in Portugal.
The quarter casks (100L) used for the Starward Tawny are sourced from Yalumba, a prestigious winery in the heart of the Barossa Valley in Australia. Casks from SA Cooperage are also used. Only 4,000 bottles have been released.

Tasting Notes
"Damp wood and dried red fruits, dates and touches of thyme, as well as mush banana and a whisper of menthol. A whiff of tobacco, fermented grapes and a touch of pralines. A slight farminess as well. The palate is characterized by a sweet and malty arrival with a pleasant creamy mouthfeel, followed by a spicy, almost fizzy quality. Proper chocolate notes, as well as espresso and roasted peanut skins. Starward is one to watch."
