*Starward has recently changed their labels, and as the original labels are being phased out, there is still a chance that you might receive a bottle different than what is pictured. But rest assured, the liquid remains the same, regardless of the label.

Top Malt from Down Under.

Melbourne is famous for its insane weather, where all four seasons present themselves in one day like it’s a demo. But while such changes may be obnoxious to people, they’re perfect for maturing booze. David Vitale, Melbourne native, established the Starward Distillery in 2007. He sources his barley from the nearby farms, while the maturation barrels come from vineyards in Victoria. Starward’s Whisky spends two years only in Red Wine barrels, but the crazy climate accelerates the process in "Melbourne years." Their Spirits are unique and unmistakably Aussie.

Starward Nova Malt Whisky is what a lush vision of Whisky can become. Australia, its hot climate and legendary Red Wines are carved in the DNA of this Spirit. The creators had carefully selected barrels that used to house locally made Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot. They made sure the barrels weren't charred. That way they preserved both the character of Wine and oak. The big idea behind this dram is honoring the tradition while not being trapped by it. Innovation and creativity enabled this red renegade to be as palatial as the big boys, despite its young age.

Wish I didn't get a full bottle of this!

This was my first Flaviar shipment, and very disappointing. I've tried drinking it neat and on the rocks, and haven't enjoyed it; none of the advertised fruit "notes" are evident to me. It's obscure enough that I haven't found any cocktail recipes to use it. So I'm canceling my Flaviar subscription.

Y’all Need to Chill

This is a great whiskey for what it is. It’s a single malt, then finished in red wine barrels. This isn’t a bourbon, it’s something completely different and for that I appreciate it… a lot. This is delicious and it’s different. If you’re about to drink this or order it and you think it’s going to be Buffalo Trace or some other tater beverage you’re wrong. This is a something I’ll keep on my shelf because it’s different and unique and it’s not the typical whiskey you see in person often.

That is all,
Piss off cause you don’t deserve a pour of this

Disappointing first shipment

My friend told me I would taste great bourbons from Flaviar. I told him he was wrong. What a huge disappointment. Tasted like somebody just mixed wine and whiskey. If shipments don’t get better I will not be renewing my subscription. I am not impressed.

Hope my subscription gets better

This is just disappointing. Over the top wine flavor, no finish. Although it has a low abv, on the front it has a straight alcohol taste followed by heavy red wine taste. Was looking forward to trying a hard to find bourbon. Not this.

Wine flavored Whisky

I got this as the first bottle in my subscription and it is a wasting shelf space at this point. No one wants to drink it. This has an overwhelming presence of Red Wine that totally overpowers anything that might make you think you have a bottle of Whisky. I can appreciate the effort, but for me and my friends, its a miss.

If you like bourbon, this probably isn't for you.
