]]> Starward Vitalis 2007 – 2022 – 52% https://www.whizita.de/en/product/starward-vitalis-2007-2022-52/ Tue, 13 Dec 2022 07:51:11 +0000 https://www.whizita.de/?post_type=product&p=124316 After a literally excellent year, including being named "Most Awarded Distillery" at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Starward is now celebrating a very personal achievement: 15 years of progressive whisky production - a real milestone for Australian whisky. Connoisseurs worldwide can toast the distillery anniversary with the celebratory packaged special bottling Vitalis (Latin for life).
The single malt Australian whisky is named after David Vitale, who reached for the stars 15 years ago and started a distillery in Melbourne. With Starward, he established a modern, accessible and uncomplicated whisky that matures in Australian wine casks. Its development is reflected in the anniversary bottling Vitalis.
The basis for the single malt are the red wine casks characteristic of Starward. They are complemented by four other cask types from Starward's history.
Besides casks that were prefilled with the Australian version of sherry, the Apera, they include casks prefilled with Australia's strong wine Tawny as well as two cask types that Starward experimented with: bourbon and rum casks.
Together they produce a fruit-driven, mature and complex single malt with toffee, dried fruit and coffee beans.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Soft toffee, sultanas, chocolate-covered pineapple and cedar.
Palate: Full-bodied and creamy, with lush dried fruits, red currants and lightly roasted coffee beans. Nice balance with the bright, tropical notes of the raw spirit.
Finish: Long and oily with a fine balance of fruit and oak.

]]> Melbourne – the pleasure metropolis of Australia. A young and innovative food and bar scene animates the city on the southeast coast of the continent. Inspired by her, the Starward Distillery produces a whisky that is completely new for Australia, which focuses on the pleasure experience, turns its back on conventions – and simply allows everything that pleases and tastes. For example the enjoyment of single malt and Co. for a BBQ with friends, with a thriller on the couch, with pizza or banana bread.

Freed from tradition, the distillery looks at whisky through the eyes of brewers and winemakers. It is made exclusively from ingredients from the region. In addition to barley, mainly from slightly charred or steamed red wine barrels from Australian wineries. Starward Whisky only needs three years in them for its fruity maturity. Responsible for this: the Melbourne climate. Constant changes in weather, the so-called “Four seasons in a day” at an average of up to 22.5 ° C, allow distillates to ripen in an elementary way – and create a whisky that cannot be found anywhere else.
