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.

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.

Nice & smooth

Very smooth with nice fruity notes in the finish.

I think they forgot to pour the wine out of the cask

If you really like Australian wine, you might want to give this a try. I do like Australian wine and got this as the first bottle from my subscription. You can definitely taste and smell the residual lingerings of the wine flavors and aromas in this malt (It even impacts the color). Think of a floral, vanilla-y, whiskey with (unfortunately) not a strong enough flavor on its own to mask the flavor of the wine barrel. It's not bad, per se; but if I want wine, I will buy a bottle of wine...not this. I can see using this as a blending whiskey for a sour or something like that to try to "barrel through" the lack of good whiskey flavor in this.

I think the best thing to say, is that the bottlers are at least trying to come up with a distinct flavor, and I applaud them for the effort. Just not for me. Better luck next time.

Absolutely the Worse Thing I have Ever tried to drink !!!

I have had the pleasure of drinking a lot of Bourbon and Whiskeys from around the Word and this is The Worse one that I have ever tried !!! I didn't order this either ! It was as ,Flaviar, calls it, 'CURATED',,,LOL ! I believe they bought a bunch and this Poison and this is the only way that they can Unload it. I like to sip my drink and this wasn't even good as a Mixer ! It also really upset my insides the next day too, if you catch my drift, so it went back right where it came from,,,in my TOILET !! kangaroo piss is my best guess is what this was ...Good Bye Flaviar ! We won't be doing any more business with you after this subscription is up !!
