Starward 2016 The Barossa Valley Single Barrel #12192 70cl

The STARWARD The Barossa Valley Single Barrel Australian Whiskey comes from a 200l red wine barrel made of French white oak. Red wine barrels from the famous Barossa Valley wine region are used to mature the STARWARD The Barossa Valley Single Barrel Australian Whiskey. The whiskey is then stored in Melbourne for 3 years. This is called elementary maturation. The beautiful colour of this whiskey comes from the red wine barrels. Barrels of Shiraz, Cabernet and Pinot Noir are used, which have spent 4-7 years in the best wineries in Australia. The barrels are often lightly wetted with wine, which gives the whiskey its strong and fruity taste.

David Vitale grew up in a large Italian family in multicultural Melbourne, well known for its innovative food culture. You could almost say that Melbourne is obsessed with food. David ultimately set his mind on making an Australian whiskey. Since winemakers have already managed to create a piece of the old world in Australia, why shouldn't the same be possible for whiskey? In addition, wine barrels have previously been used to either store or finish whiskey. Of course, David had to try it and after a few attempts he was successful. For its whiskeys, Starward uses Australian malted barley that is fermented with brewer's yeast. It gives the whiskeys a fruity aroma. The wine barrels used for storage are selected very carefully and are always full of aromas. In the final step, the whiskeys are only stored in Melbourne for three years. With arctic winds from the south and dry winds from the desert, Melbourne can experience all four seasons in just one day. Due to the strong temperature differences, the whiskey reacts much faster in the barrel than would be the case in Scotland. As Melbourne is also warmer, the whiskey tends to increase in alcohol content during storage rather than decreasing over time. For the Barossa Valley Single Barrel, Starward customers can choose their own barrel in which the whiskey was stored.
