Starward Dolce matures in Australian Muscat and Tokay dessert wine casks — fortified wines from Victoria's Rutherglen region. The sticky-wine influence adds a distinctive raisined sweetness to the Starward malt character.
The dessert wine finishing creates a distinctly Australian whisky. Rutherglen Muscat and Tokay are uniquely Australian wine styles, and their influence gives Dolce a character that could not be replicated with any imported cask type.
Starward Dolce is an accessible, sweet-wine-influenced Australian malt. The dessert wine finishing adds genuine character, and the Melbourne identity is authentic. A gentle, sweet expression of Australian whisky.
