Mash bill
- Malted barley100%
100% malted barley — Starward's signature Australian single malt. Fully matured in Australian red wine barrels (shiraz and related reds from nearby wineries), so the grain story is clean malt canvas for local wine-wood fruit and chocolate rather than peat or new-char bourbon spice.
