Starward X Lagavulin – 48%

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.
