Starward Single Barrel Australian Whisky The Barossa Valley (Barrel 5680) Proof 112.8 750 ml

Starward Single Barrel Barossa Valley is a single-cask Australian whisky from Starward Distillery in Melbourne, matured in a barrel that previously held Barossa Valley red wine - this cask, #5680, is bottled at 112.8 proof (56.4% ABV). Starward's whole approach leans on Australia's wine-cask supply rather than ex-bourbon or sherry casks, which gives its whisky a distinctly fruit-forward, red-wine-tinged character. Expect a nose of dark berries and malt, a rich palate of dried fruit and baking spice, and a long, wine-influenced finish. It's one of the clearest examples of Starward's signature style, intensified by cask-strength bottling.

How to drink Starward Barossa Valley Single Barrel

A splash of water tames the proof and lets the red-wine fruit notes come forward without losing the malt underneath.
