Starward Fortis is a big, bold single malt Australian whisky, which was matured entirely in American oak barrels that were previously home to Australian red wine. After maturation, Fortis is bottled up at 50% ABV, and it's bottled without chill-filtration. It's brilliant stuff, suitable for sipping neat, but flavoursome enough to stand up to being used in all kinds of cocktails.
Strawberry, blackcurrant jam, a bit chocolatey at points, hazelnut, gingerbread.
Figs, dates, peanut brittle, a hint of toasty oak, more jammy red berries.
Vanilla pod earthiness lingers underneath blackberry and Seville orange.
Enjoyed this lovely whiskey from homeland
This is the second bottle I’ve had. It is a very smooth unique whisky. Highly recommended and worth the money
