Peated, smoky whisky barrels meet red-wine-barrel-aged single malt. Islay, Scotland melds with Melbourne, Australia. And old worlds and new worlds collide.

As soon as we sourced the right peated-whisky-soaked barrels from Islay’s remote heritage distilleries, the experimenting began. Some barrels had been around since as far back as 1968. But once we brought them over to Australia, they have been given a whole new lease on life.

When those juicy, tropical Starward flavours take on peated smoke character, it’s a flavour sensation. On your tongue, subtle sweet peat melds with red-wine-barrel red berries. You’ll discover peat in the aroma and the lingering dry finish too.

Fuse our new world Australian ways with Scottish heritage and expertise, and something remarkable happens.
