Final Thoughts
Starward Nova is the distillery’s flagship single malt, matured exclusively in Australian red wine barrels. On the nose, it opens with fresh red berries, plums, and cherries, backed by vanilla, spice, and a touch of oak. The palate is lively, delivering raspberry jam, stewed apples, baking spices, and gentle tannins balanced by honeyed sweetness. The texture is smooth and approachable, leading to a long finish with lingering fruit and subtle oak spice. Best enjoyed neat or in a highball, Nova pairs beautifully with charcuterie, grilled lamb, or berry tarts.
