The Starward 2017 Ginger Beer Cask Whisky is an exceptional and distinctive single malt whisky hailing from the innovative Starward brand and crafted at the New World Whisky Distillery in Melbourne, Australia. This 2017 edition was bottled in 2021 and boasts an impressive ABV of 48%. What truly sets it apart is its unique finishing process in ginger beer casks, a method not commonly used in the whisky industry. This innovative technique imparts a hearty, fresh, and powerful character to the whisky, infused with a distinct ginger flavor that is well-balanced, neither overpowering nor bitter.
The whisky's maturation process is particularly special, as the ginger beer used for the cask finishing is brewed in-house and aged in ex-Starward whisky barrels for six months before being utilized. This limited release comprises only six editions, making it a highly sought-after collector's item and a perfect choice for those looking for something new and exciting.
On the nose, you'll find inviting aromas of ginger, cinnamon, vanilla, oak, and citrus. The palate offers a rich tapestry of flavors including raisins, dark chocolate, ginger, orange, and pineapple. The finish is long and warming, featuring spicy notes of ginger, cinnamon, oak, and chocolate. This whisky's high alcohol content adds to its warmth and complexity, making it a memorable and rewarding experience for any whisky enthusiast.
Overall, the Starward 2017 Ginger Beer Cask Whisky is a must-try for whisky aficionados and collectors alike. It showcases the creativity and expertise of the New World Whisky Distillery, offering a unique and innovative expression that will leave a lasting impression whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail.
