Starward Fortis Whisky

Starward Fortis is a robust, single malt Australian whisky celebrated for its intensity and full-bodied flavor profile. Matured exclusively in 100% Australian Apera (Sherry) casks—primarily 48-hour toasted wine barrels—this expression is bottled at a powerful 50% ABV. The maturation process in Melbourne's extreme and variable climate accelerates the interaction between wood and spirit, developing an exceptional richness in a short time. The nose features a deep concentration of toasted oak, dark forest fruits, and brown sugar. On the palate, Fortis delivers notes of black forest cake, baking spices, and dried fig, underpinned by a luxurious, velvety texture. Its long, warm finish is driven by the high proof and deep oak influence. Fortis is designed for the discerning whisky enthusiast who appreciates a bold, non-chill filtered dram with undeniable Australian character.
