Wine Cask Maturation

What sets Starward apart is their pioneering use of Australian red wine barrels for maturation. These wine casks, previously used for Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir, impart rich fruity notes, subtle tannins, and a smooth, approachable character that's distinctly different from traditional Scotch whisky.
