Starward Nova Single Malt Australian Whisky Review
Drawing inspiration from Australia's brewers and winemakers, this whisky's malted barley mash uses brewer’s yeast for fermentation, while the finished double-distilled spirit ages in red wine barrels sourced from the Yarra and Barossa valleys. The end result is a single malt that serves vibrant red fruit and baking spice notes, which arrive in bold but balanced proportions. Complexity and depth of flavor make it ideal for sipping, but don’t be afraid to mix it in your preferred whiskey cocktails.
