Really? Did you get a bad bottle? I've been through 2 and I thought it was pretty decent

I drink a lot of mostly non peated scotch, irish and bourbon. I find Starward to be a significant step back on my palate - young and lolly water like. Lacking complexity. I've given my Starward bottles to charity (friends) who would probably use it as a mixer.

Interesting, my go-to whiskies are the peatier ones (Laphroaig, Lagavullin, etc.) and I've found the Starward to be excellent drinking at the price.

Also a great steal on the $50 off code is the Starward Nova - already well priced compared to other places at $84.90. Not a whisky that will blow your mind but well priced for a local, and at $34.90 shipped is a solid deal.

EDIT: now sold out, given their warehouse is a block from Starward I'd suggest not a stock issue but them pulling it after a few sales that no doubt cost them a few dollars a bottle in losses!

They must have found some stock to send. My order has been disbatched.

Different strokes for different folks. I’m not a big fan of bourbon but always have a few bottles of decently peated Islay malts on the go, and still find Starward an enjoyable sipper for something simple and yes - definitely young. No issues with young for me - I love a bright young spirit - prefer my Lagavulin 8 to 16!

How was it?
Worth it for the price?

Mainly shared it with friends and they were impressed. It was the 2017 vintage. Still have a couple sitting around. Good colour and depth, and well regarded by friends. Always helped with a decanter. Good value for the $30, not sure about the $72 odd. I think there will be some better stuff coming round with EOFY, so am passing this time round.

I ended up getting the Zinfandel just for a bit of variety - even though I got some of the Wente for $5 from VC last week.

Just opened a bottle of Wood Park Zin and it exceeded my expectations. It is quite big, kind of like drinking a fruitcake, nice finish. Much better than Wente IMO. However I can understand why some people won’t like it. I certainly do.
