From the fabulous Starward distillery over in Melbourne comes Solera, a tasty single malt made with 100% Australian barley and matured exclusively in re-coopered and re-sized Apera (an Australian fortified wine, not dissimilar to Spanish sherry) barrels. The name is of course a reference to the solera ageing system, which Starward spins its own take on to age this whisky.
Nose: Prune juice and seedless raisins provide a thick, sherry-forward sweetness that is complemented by rich caramel and toasted almonds. A little marzipan lingers underneath.
Palate: A rich, but well-balanced palate begins with toasted oak and more jammy fruit compote – damsons, black currants and dried figs – before creme brulee, milky coffee and winter spice notes emerge.
Finish: There’s a little sawdust and milk chocolate as the dram concludes.
Overall: Remarkably fruity and beautifully composed – this is a seriously good whisky.

It's oaky, for sure. Oaky from nose to tail, but I don't think that's a bad thing. It has a lovely fruitcakey nose of almonds and raisins. The palette is very similar with lots of sweetness and cakiness, the finish also very long and lingering, honeyed and figgy notes. I was very surprised by this Australian whisky, it's woody and sweet yes but it has quite a lot else going on and I actually thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely be buying an additional bottle.

The milky coffee and overly heavy oak is not working for my taste. Otherwise fruity - figs & damson but heavy oak.

First time tasting this whiskey I found it to be very dry & malty, I had a 3-course dinner prior and it completly ruined this whiskey.Last night I decided to have another go and it took me by suprise!Its a well balanced, fruity and wonderful whiskey that demands attention and easily can be ruined.

Nose: Oak, sweetness of agaves, milk chocolate, cherry and lemonPalate: acidic, little bit spicy with oak, oregano in the backgroundFinish: very very dry, oak, fruits and sweetAll in All: This Australian Malt surprised me. It combinats the flavours of the Scotch Speyside and good Irish Whiskeys. There's just one problem: The very dry finish...

From someone who loves a smooth whisky this is just bland, way too simple with unpleasant hits of soap (no that’s not fruity).

After having numerous single malts, this one holds its own. I am on a mission to discover SM from around the world and WOW this one is delicious. Balanced sweetness with just right malty undertones. well worth this price.

I would give it more credit for not being Scottish but that would be unfair. Not great smooth but as a malt nothing to say aside from tastes like a cheap cake.

I bought this whiskey for a gift for my husband and he loves it. It has a lovely mellow smokey vanilla brandy undertone. It's easy and very pleasant to drink, would highly recommend this whiskey.

A smoooth whiskey. Very enjoyable if you are either a scotch or bourbon drinker. A little on the pricey side but worth a try.

If you buy this you will drink it very quickly! Really delicious whisky. I've got the Wine Cask version, which I think is the same as this one. Quite similar to Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban. Thoroughly recommend!
