This bottling of a Starward single malt as an original bottling of the distillery represents a collaboration with the Islay distillery Lagavulin. The whisky matured in ex-red wine casks, received an 18-month finish in ex-Lagavulin casks and was bottled in 2023.
Starward is a distillery in Melbourne, Australia, which was founded in 2007 by David Vitale. Australian grain is used and the maturation takes place exclusively in red wine barrels.
Whisky production in New Zealand essentially goes back to Scottish immigrants and thus the Wilson family, even though the New Zealand Distillery was opened as early as 1848, but was quickly abandoned. Since 1974, production has taken place on the site of the former Willowbank Brewery, but this distillery was finally closed in 1997. Today, the New Zealand Whisky Company distributes the remaining casks.
