Starward Fortis Single Malt Australian Whisky - Batch II (700ml)
Starward Fortis Single Malt Australian Whisky - Batch II (700ml)
A bold, flavoursome dram from modern Melbourne distillers, Starward. This single malt has been made using Australian barley and brewer’s yeast, before being aged in 100% American oak barrels that previously held jammy Shiraz and Cabernets from the Barossa Valley. Non chill filtered, this whisky is robust and full bodied.
or 4 interest free payment of $31.0

Details

Starward are known for making contemporary whisky that does not compromise on quality. Fortis takes its name from the Latin word meaning “brave” or “bold”, certainly a fitting description for this powerfully flavoured expression. 


This is a distinctly Aussie dram, with Australian ingredients used throughout the whisky-making process. The spirit is bottled at 50% ABV, ensuring the final product closely resembles the whisky that is drawn from the cask.

Tasting notes

Nose

Intense vanilla custard, plums and figs are joined by an undercurrent of barrel char, cinnamon spice and jammy blackberries to round things out.

Taste

Vanilla again, with mixed berry jam, sultanas, freshly baked chocolate cake, malted milk and allspice. Orange rind and salted caramel adds a bittersweet complexity.

Finish

Long and syrupy, with dark oak and toasted cinnamon and anise lingering. A whisky of unrelenting class.

Full flavour

Jim Murray rates 50% on flavour and the Fortis has it in spades, my favourite.
