For whisky lovers, a trip to Scotland is the stuff of absolute dreams. Particularly when it comes to the island of Islay.
Nestled amongst the rugged coast, it’s home to some of the world’s most delicious peated Scotch whiskies.
Our mates at Starward are always looking for new ways to push boundaries when it comes to flavour. And this time around, they’ve set their sights on Lagavulin — one of Islay’s oldest distilleries. Renowned for its distinctive Single Malt peated Scotch whisky, Lagavulin has gained a passionate following from whisky lovers all around the world. Which is why Starward’s team of award-winning distillers were determined to create a global first that celebrated the very best of Aussie curiosity alongside Scottish tradition.
Introducing: Starward’s Single Malt Australian Whisky Finished in ex-Lagavulin Barrels.
This creation is both a mouthful to say and to taste.
As you will have gathered by the name alone, ex-Lagavulin Barrels — that previously held their distinctive Islay Malt — have been sourced to finish Starward’s signature red wine barrel-matured Single Malt Australian whisky for a further 18 months.
Melding the tropical notes Starward’s whisky is famous for with the rich and smoky peat of Lagavulin barrels, it’s a modern (and deliciously Australian) twist on a quintessential Scottish flavour profile.
Now it almost goes without saying: this limited release is destined to be a hot ticket item. That’s why Starward is once again enforcing the democratic process of a ballot to manage demand. Successful entrants will have a chance to purchase a 700ml bottle of this exclusive release (limited-release packaging and all).
