First, we started with our signature twice distilled single malt spirit. Made with Australian barley and brewers' yeast for extra flavour.

Then, this Single Malt Australian Whisky was matured in Australian red wine barrels (of course!) and then finished in barrels that held an Australian interpretation of a Sicilian Dessert Wine. Bellissimo!

Did you know, that this is newest release from our Starward Projects, our program where our distillers get to experiment with different whiskies and create flavour forward and unique expressions? That is why Dolce is unlike any released before.

Intriguing marshmallow and cola characters melding with the Starward stamp of red wine barrel maturation, it is an embodiment of the Italian word for sweet; Dolce.

This one's a stunning straight sipper, especially with a cheeseboard, after dinner or just as your dessert!

NOSE \ Dried fruits, toasted marshmallows and marzipan.

PALATE \ Initial sweetness on the front palate, rich dried fruits, brown sugar, cola and toasted marshmallows.

FINISH \ Viscous, caramelised but enough tannin leaving a well-balanced finish
