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.
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.
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.
There’s a little sawdust and milk chocolate as the dram concludes.
Remarkably fruity and beautifully composed – this is a seriously good whisky.

Excellent smooth and delicious the best of the Australian Malts l have tasted sits alongside Speyside Malts
Nose: Oak, sweetness of agaves, milk chocolate, cherry and lemon Palate: acidic, little bit spicy with oak, oregano in the background Finish: very very dry, oak, fruits and sweet All 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.
