Official tasting notes.
Nose: Subtle cherry wood smoke balanced with overripe peaches and pineapple aromas.
Palate: A subtleness of the cherry wood smoke and stone fruit characters meld to create a dry and textural palate.
Finish: A sweetness, thanks to the Apera (fortified wine) barrels.

Description
Sold out at the distillery, ‘Small Batch’ is Starward’s home for their one-off releases, where the distillery sourced special ingredients, unique barrels or are trialling something new. This expression is Starward’s first alternative malt endeavour, using specialty cherry wood smoked barley to produce a delicate single malt whisky.
The distillery comments:
A subtle smoke aroma, to begin with, balanced by tropical fruits; a tango on the nose. The cherry wood smoke is understated on the palate allowing the stone fruit characters to shine. All integrating and mixing well, creating a textural palate which moves from dry through to sweet.
