Starward Octave Barrels 48%vol. 0,7l

Iconic red wine aging: Starward Octave Barrels from the Project Series

One ​​of Australia's best-known family-run wineries, Yalumba plays a central role in Starward's history.
The very first batch of Melbourners matured almost exclusively in Yalumba wine casks.
Now the latest bottling from the experimental Project Series, Starward Octave Barrels, celebrates that special relationship - fusing the winery's iconic "The Octavius" red wine with Starward's handcrafted single malt.
 
"The Octavius" is a cult. The Australian Shiraz from the Barossa Valley is the only red wine in the world that is aged in 100 liter octave barrels.
After bottling the wine, Starward filled the freshly emptied casks with their fruity single malt whiskey.

In the small barrels, the whiskey interacted strongly with the American oak, allowing it to mature intensely and absorb the acclaimed characteristics of "The Octavius".
How does that taste? After raisins, anise and caramel, which merge with luscious, dark fruits...

Nose: full aromas of red fruits, raisins and ripe peaches, followed by caramel, some aniseed and roasted oak
