Starward Two-Fold Double Grain

Sweet, fruity daily dram.

Amazing whisky, which I tried out of curiosity. Soft and sweet opening of strawberry candy and panna cotta, vanilla and toasted almonds. Beautiful, dark yellow / brownish colour. Surprisingly appetizing nose. Thick and solid mouthfeel, soft and juicy. Caramel, fudge, Dutch Speculaas herbs, sweet and creamy with a beer-like bit of drought to it. Soft tannins in the finish, with a splash of fruits, tasting like plums and ripe berries, fading with a smooth kick. Lovely balanced and very impressive.

Tasting neat in a NEAT glass: Nose is soft with gentle berries and custard underlined by graham cracker. Palate packs a punch of vanilla cream and honey. Finish is soft and medium, with more vanilla followed by red berries.

Wine aroma, subtly sweet. Body is just the right amount of rich, perfectly balanced. The flavor to me is if you put Talisker 10 year in a wine barrel for a bit. Definitely a new favorite.

Nose: dough, floral, touch of honey, medicine Taste: a bit of the medicine from the nose, Finish: oily, little smoke, more of that medicine Do not like. Water didn't open up anything of note or improve taste.
