The Heart Cut No.15 | Starward

The Heart Cut is a wonderful independent bottler co-founded by whisky legend Georgie Bell and her husband Fabrizio in 2023 to celebrate incredible whiskies with stories to tell from across the globe. Each bottling is carefully selected, based on relationships with each distillery they work with, meaning each cask really has been chosen for a reason, and we can be sure that they are interesting, delicious and have a lovely story behind them.

This is from Melbourne-based distillery, Starward, who use their proximity to some of the best wineries in Australia to source beautiful fresh red wine casks to mature their spirit. Between their unique cask selection and the varying climate, the whiskies are always juicy and full of flavour. This single red wine barrique yielded just 312 bottles and is deliciously fruity, floral and sticky.
