Starward Solera Apera Wine Barrels is a twice distilled single malt whisky meticulously crafted at the New World Whisky Distillery in Melbourne, Australia. This exceptional whisky is fully matured in carefully selected Apera casks, an Australian fortified wine similar to Sherry. Made from 100% Australian malted barley, Starward Solera's unique sweet flavor and spicy finish are a testament to its ageing process in Apera barrels. The casks are re-coopered to take advantage of Melbourne's highly variable climate, utilizing a mix of 50, 100, and 200-liter barrels. The traditional Solera blending method ensures that there's a drop of the original cask in every bottle, making each sip a connection to its origins. With no additives or coloring, this whisky represents a true expression of its ingredients and the environment in which it is produced. The whisky offers rich and sweet notes with a spicy finish, making it a standout choice for any connoisseur.
