Matured in small French oak casks previously used to age Apera fortified wine (Australian style sherry). The solera system simultaneously combines maturation and blending, taking rows of aged whisky and blending them with slightly younger casks in a tiered system called a ‘scale’. A fractional amount of each young cask is blended with a more mature spirit.
More Details
Starward Distillery are all about celebrating great Australian produce – using 100% Aussie barley and Australian red wine barrels for their whiskies. It should come as no surprise then, that when they wanted to create a single malt in the traditional Sherried style, they looked a little closer to home.
Since 2010, any Australian wines made in the Sherry style are given the name Apera. From a whisky-making perspective, Apera offers the same delightful fruity, nutty and spicy qualities to drams that Sherry does.
Heightening this dram’s Apera connection is the use of the Solera system, common to the Sherry industry. This style of fractional blending sees younger spirit replace the older whisky as it is bottled – leading to a more consistent final product that hits a perfect balance of young and old.

Tasting notes
Nose
Aromas of spiced cider, apricot, plums and sultanas delight the senses. Some toffee malt with almond, brown sugar and charred oak. An intriguing nose that demands attention.
Taste
Creamy at first, before building in spicy intensity. Solera serves up jammy Apera notes: thick stewed plums, apple sauce, figs, brown sugar. Cinnamon and pepper add complexity.
Finish
Malty and long, with flashpoints of milky coffee, dark chocolate and pencil shavings. A great example of the Aussie Apera style.
