Founded in 2013 in urban Melbourne, Starward set out to create a consistent and approachable Australian whisky, designed to be cracked open and enjoyed with friends. Starward predominantly mature their whiskies in Australian Ex-Red Wine barrels, favouring Barossa Shiraz. The local area experiences high variance in temperature, moving through a range of up to 20c per day. Maturation in their winter months can be as fast as Scotland’s summers!

This whisky was originally matured in two small Ex-Tawny Port casks, before being moved to an ex-Pinot Gris cask, a rare sight in whisky production. Being located so close to the Adelaide vineyards, Tin Shed are perfectly poised to experiment with unusual cask types such as this. For production, Tin Shed use Australian made copper pot stills, electrically heated.

Caol Ila Batch 23, 14 Year Old - From a refill hoggie laid down in December 2008, we’ve re-racked this Caol Ila into first fill Oloroso Octaves to give a bold fruit flavour.

The Caol Ila distillery is situated on the north-east coast of Islay, has has been producing spectacular single malt Scotch whisky since 1846! A very well-loved distillery, producing stunning peated expressions, and in recent years have been experimenting with unpeated malt too. If you don’t like deers, you probably shouldn’t look at the label of our Caol Ila bottling, because it’s got bloomin’ loads of them on it, charging across from the Isle of Jura to Caol Ila with Prince Vultan leading the proceedings.

Batch 5, 11 Year Old - One of the elusive single malts produced at the versatile Loch Lomond distillery. Our Croftengea, from 2007, has been matured in the industry standard, a refill ex-Bourbon hogshead, so this is all about the distillate: briny, salty and smoky.
A delicious-y bottling from Loch Lomond Distillery, the only distillery in Scotland to produce both malt and grain whisky on the same site! Now that’s what we call multi-tasking.
