Another absolutely cracking limited edition release from Australia’s Starward, Tawny is a single malt which has spent its entire maturation in tawny fortified wine octaves! Both fresh tawny casks from the Yalumba winery as well as charred tawny casks from SA Cooperage were used, and the whisky was crafted specially to be an after dinner sipper, full of rich dried fruit, spice and nuts.
Nose: Banana bread and dried peels, with peanut butter and raisin.
Palate: Rather Christmassy, with spiced cooked plum, more dried fruit and citrus, a good helping of malt and grape sweetness.
Finish: A dusting of brown sugar and oily nuts on a dry, spicy finish.
