Turntable Collaboration #1 Starward

From the moment they started turntable, they had an idea about working with new world whiskies in the pursuit of flavour. The idea of collaborations is to work with likeminded teams to create something special. Their friends at Starward Distillery in Melbourne have been producing outstanding Australian Single Malt Whisky for over 15 years. For this blend, they wanted to create a whisky that showcases Starward's style (ex-Australian wine casks) but gives new dimension. Combining the sweeter wine casks with the smoke and salt of Islay and working with some older grains and Speyside single malts to provided additional depth and complexity. Australia meets Scotland. The design focuses on the concept of North meets South and the idea of displaying constellations from different perspectives on the packaging. They've explored this further by using Glow in The Dark ink on the front label to highlight these differences.

Tasting notes:
Bonfire smoke on a sea breeze harmonised with red berries, cigar box spices and coconut. Best enjoyed on a Scottish or Austalian beach.
