Starward Fortis Single Malt Australian Whisky 700ml

Fortis starts and ends with local Australian ingredients and expert Melbourne craftsmanship.

We only age Fortis in American Oak barrels to give our whisky a richer taste and toasty oak and vanilla character.Most we leave fresh, to lend Fortis the intense red wine flavour profile that soaked into the barrel staves.

For this stronger ABV whisky, we don’t chill filter. That means the whisky you pour into your glass closely represents the whisky that comes directly from the barrel.

Nose / Madagascan vanilla pods, rich toasted American oak, blackberry jam, raisins, caramelised fig, over ripe plums.

Palate / Upfront vanilla, quince paste, Muscadelle raisins, chocolate ganache, cinnamon & baked banana bread.

Finish / Viscous and long, balanced with a finish of baking spices from the oak and ripe figs & raisins.

Future / Sip straight and savour. Or shake it up in a classic cocktail, like vermouth, campari and orange bitters.
