Starward Two-Fold Double Grain Whisky
Starward Two-Fold Double Grain Whisky is a flavourful Australian whisky matured in Australian red wine barrels. This ambitious expression marries two quintessentially Australian grains - wheat and malted barley - and elementally matures them in Melbourne's intensely reactive climate. Two-Fold promises to deliver an approachable whisky, with bright aromas of spiced vanilla, tropical fruits and cereals. The palate is rounded carrying hints of red apples and berries. The finish is delicate with soft tannins and lingering red fruits. This is a whisky for any occasion; neat by the fire, on ice to celebrate, mixed up in a perfect Manhattan. Two-Fold is made for the sharing cabinet, so enjoy with friends and family. David Vitale, founder, started off with a simple vision; create a uniquely Australian whisky to bring forth to the world with pride. Born and bred in Melbourne, David was inspired to create a spirit that reflects his home town – from its culture to it’s famed ‘four seasons in a day’ temperature swings. It is a city surrounded by some of Australia’s leading wine regions – all within a day’s drive – and is regarded as the microbrewing capital of Australia. It seems obvious now that all the ingredients for a modern Australian whisky were close by. But, in 2007, when he first started, the idea of an approachable, affordable Australian whisky - served neat or as a cocktail with food - was a big leap of faith. While Australia had a well-established small-scale ultra-premium whisky scene, David pioneered an affordable, approachable and distinctly Australian whisky. The result is STARWARD. A modern Australian whisky, elementally matured for three “Melbourne years” in Australian wine barrels, that pushes the boundaries of what whisky can be.
Sullivans Cove Old & Rare American Oak Second Fill Single 16 Year Old Single Malt Whisky (TD0252)
Product Information: Sullivans Cove stays true to its promise of bottling only the unique and exceptional. TD0252 reached its peak after 16 years of maturation in a single American Oak ex-Bourbon cask. The result is remarkable depth and character, with only 195 bottles in existence, making each one a rare opportunity to experience the singular complexity of this extraordinary whisky. This release is vibrant yet contemplative. The oak presence is pronounced but refined, allowing for a seamless interplay between warm spices and fruit. Huon pine lifts the spirit with an alpine freshness, adding a herby complexity. You’ll discover deep leather, charred corn, and sizzled butter, all closing out with earthy baking spices, cedar, and a coffee-ground finish. Matured for 16 years in a single 200L American oak ex-Bourbon cask, this release is bottled at 48.2% ABV and yields just 195 bottles. Sullivans Cove’s Second-Fill casks are a truly special part of the distillery. Select American Oak and French Oak barrels are refilled to provide a gentler oak profile, allowing the spirit to shine. The Second-Fill range has quickly become a favourite, offering the characteristic flavours of each oak type in a more restrained and delicate style. This range represents the distillery's distinct spirit character in its purest form. Maker: In 1994, on a remote island at the far end of the world, Sullivans Cove distillery was brought to life from humble beginnings. Far from the whisky establishment, Sullivans Cove was free to explore and perfect its process, blending tradition with innovation. Two decades later, this commitment to crafting exceptional whisky—patiently aged and inspired by nature—was rewarded when Sullivans Cove was named the World’s Best Whisky. Suddenly, the world knew about the special things happening on Tasmania’s 'Apple Isle,' and whisky lovers globally were intrigued. In a world of instant gratification, Sullivans Cove offers something different: a genuinely rare whisky that cannot be rushed and can never be replicated. Philosophy: Distilled in Hobart, Tasmania, Sullivans Cove single malt is made using traditional methods and 100% Tasmanian ingredients. Inspired by nature and patiently aged, Sullivans Cove distillers seek the sublime. Each cask is nurtured to its natural peak, with thousands of tiny decisions helping each batch reach its full potential. No two batches are the same, making every release an opportunity for exploration. Tasmania’s pure, clean water and fertile barley-growing land make it an ideal location for producing world-class whisky. This combination of high-quality water and grain is the foundation of all Sullivans Cove whiskies. All Sullivans Cove whiskies are made from 100% Tasmanian malted barley. The wash is brewed locally by experienced brewers and then double-distilled in a unique Tasmanian-built pot still, affectionately known as "Myrtle." The first distillation, known as the "wash run," produces low wines of around 20% ABV, which are then distilled again during the "spirit run" to produce a spirit of around 70% ABV. This spirit is diluted to 63.5% ABV before being placed in casks for ageing. Most whiskies are aged in either 200L American oak ex-bourbon barrels or 300L French oak ex-tawny barrels, maturing for many years in Tasmania’s unique climate—typically between nine and eighteen years. Nose - Tropical, Blackberry Jam, Marjoram Herbs Kaffir lime leaf adds a bright, zesty edge, while earthy oak spices emerge - cedar, coffee, black pepper, and cinnamon, grounding the experience. There’s a deep leather note. Palate - Fresh Baked Biscuits, Buttery Charred Corn, Vanilla Sponge Clove weave through layers of bay leaf and black pepper, leading into the warmth of toasted sourdough and freshly baked biscuits. Finish - Werther's Originals, Cola, Spice and Herbal Lift Werther’s Originals and pickled walnuts offer an intriguing juxtaposition of sweet and briny, hinting at the spirit's complexity. Piney aromas and fresh herbs add a fresh twist to a wonderfully decadent dram. Bottling Information Barrel No. - TD0252 Bottle No. - Various of 195 Filled On - 04/03/2008 Decanted On - 10/04/2024
