Description

Starward Octave Barrels is a single malt Australian whisky which has been fully matured in 100L wine barrels called "Octaves". The Octave wine barrels, that inspired the name for this release, were sourced from Yalumba - a family-owned Australian winery, located in the heart of Australian's famed Barossa wine region, and were used to produce their iconic Octavius Old Vine Shiraz. A modern Australian whisky, shaped by an icon of Australian red wine. It's a single malt where raisin, anise and caramel flavours meld with rich, dark fruits. It took some of the world's oldest Shiraz plantings, Australia's oldest family-owned winery and Starward's progressive red-wine-barrel maturation to make this distinctly Australian single malt.
