We took this special smoky expression out of our whisky vault in celebration of our recent wins at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. This smoky number won a Gold medal, but the real gold is in the bottle.

A New World take on an old classic, our Peated Finish isa single malt whisky aged in red wine barrels and finished in peated barrels straight off the rugged coast of Islay, Scotland. Melded with Starward’s quintessential tropical notes and the smoky, earthy flavors from Islays coastal peat, expect a whisky that’s unlike any other.

That’s why it won a Gold medal at the recent 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

This is something special.

Tasting Notes:

• Color:Auburn
• Nose: Bright tropical fruits, toasted oak followed by a hint of sweet peat.
• Palate: Ripe red fruits, subtle peat smoke, yellow peach and mocha.
• Finish: Palate slowly dries from the oak and has very long peated finish

The Starward Peated Finish Single Malt Australian Whisky is a unique expression, crafted from 100% Australian barley grain and aged in a combination of Australian red wine barrels and peated Scotch whisky barrels. Bottled at 43.2% ABV, this whisky has a complex and intense flavour, with notes of smoky peat, dark fruits, toasted oak, and a hint of vanilla. Enjoy neat or on the rocks, and savour the unique character of a truly special Australian whisky.
