Starward Unexpeated 2017 Bot.2021

Scotland and Australia collide in this fruity, smoky single malt from Australia’s Starward distillery, initially matured in Australian red-wine casks, Unexpeated has been finished in casks that previously held heavily-peated single malt from Islay, Scotland. A balance between floral, coastal peat smoke and juicy tropical fruits on the nose is complemented by notes of red berries, seaside bonfires, vegetal peat, yellow peaches, dark chocolate and oaky spice throughout the palate, with a lingering peaty finish.
