Description

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.

Great value and an easy drinker

Nice addition to the growing whisky collection!

Master of Malt Customer Jul 8, 2020

Woody and sweet, a very enjoyable expression!

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.

Milky coffee

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

Well worth the cost!

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.
