Portrait: What makes Starward in Collaboration with Lagavulin.

Unconventional, casual and culinary: Just like their hometown of Melbourne, Starward whiskies are versatile and different. The experimental distillery produces its single malt Australian whisky purely from local ingredients, lets it mature in juicy barrels from famous wineries down under and takes advantage of thenotorious Melbourne weather ( "four seasons in a day") to bring the quintessential Australian spirit into the glass.

For great taste, Starward likes to push the boundaries of whiskey making - this one Sometimes up to the island of Islay.

The Starward in Collaboration with Lagavulin matured in peated Scottish whisky Casks from the world-famous Lagavulin Distillery after. Following the characteristic red wine maturation, the Australian single malt spent another 18 months in the delicious Islay Casks.

The result? Starward's perhaps most exciting limited edition bottling to date. The Starward in Collaboration with Lagavulin combines tropical notes of nectarine and dark roasted pineapple with strong, earthy coastal peat and a smoldering, dry oak finish.

And: gives a foretaste of the Australians' new design. It is packaged in a high-quality box in Lagavulin green with embossing.

Outturn: 2,000 bottles worldwide
