Tasting Notes
Starward Fortis is a bold and unapologetic Australian single malt whisky that demands attention. Matured entirely in American oak barrels previously used for Australian red wine, it boasts a rich and indulgent aroma reminiscent of strawberry jam, blackcurrants, and hints of chocolate, hazelnut, and gingerbread. On the palate, it delivers a luscious medley of figs, dates, and peanut brittle, complemented by a subtle toasty oak undertone and a vibrant burst of jammy red berries. The finish lingers with earthy vanilla pod notes intertwined with blackberry and the zesty tang of Seville orange. Bottled at a robust 50% ABV and without chill-filtration, Starward Fortis is a true celebration of boldness, perfectly suited for neat sipping or as a flavorful companion in craft cocktails.
