A rich, Single Malt Whisky by David Vitale founder of the Starward Distillery in Melbourne, Australia made with locally sourced barley & aged for 2 years in un-charred casks that come from vineyards in Victoria which previously held Shiraz, Cabernet or Pinot. It has a spicy-sweet birth with notes of nuts, red wine, dried & tropical fruits; while a complex & creamy life adds notes of red fruits, strawberry, honey, cinnamon, fresh oak spice & red wine; that led to a dry & oaky death with notes of marmalade, toffee, walnut & baking spices.
