TASTE THE BEAUTY IN THE DIFFERENT

Starward Botrytis Cask is a limited edition, single malt whisky that has been fully matured for seven years, in fresh and charred casks that once held Botrytis semillon dessert wine. Expect the decadent characteristics from this ancient style of wine to shine through; orange blossom, marzipan and apricot danish.

Tasting Notes

Nose / Dried apricots, orange blossom, marzipan and honey on toast.

Palate / Dried apricots, marmalade, cedar and nutmeg.

Finish / Big long finish with lingering flavours of marmalade on toast, apricot danish and beeswax.

Decadent and rare.

Botrytis (also known as ‘Noble Rot’) is an ancient style of wine, dating back to 1526. It requires a balance of care, skill and the perfect conditions to produce the rare botrytis affected grapes. Botrytis casks are uncommon as they're only made in small quantities in Australia, making this release exceptionally rare for Starward.
