Starward uses Australian barley and matures its whisky in barrels that previously held Australian red wine. Melbourne's famously changeable climate, sometimes described as "four seasons in one day," speeds up the interaction between spirit and wood. Left-Field is Starward's light, fruit-forward expression, a vibrant single malt that shows the creativity of the new world of whisky.

Amrut Single Malt
India · 46% Vol.

Amrut Single Malt comes from Amrut Distilleries in Bangalore, India, founded in 1948. When Amrut launched in 2004, it was the first single malt whisky from India. It is made from Indian barley and matured in the city's hot tropical climate, about 900 metres above sea level. This climate speeds up maturation dramatically: each year, a far larger share of the whisky evaporates from the cask than in Scotland. The result is a rich, full-bodied single malt with a surprisingly mature character for its age.

Aroma: Vanilla, Honey, Spice
Taste: Barley, Toffee, Tropical fruit
Finish: Long, Oak, Spice

Its tall copper pot stills produce a light, clean spirit with a gentle touch of peat. The whisky is matured for ten years in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, then finished in Oloroso sherry casks.
