Starward Solera: Old World Method, Bold Australian Flavor

Starward Solera is a modern Australian whisky rooted in centuries-old Spanish tradition. Inspired by the solera aging system used for sherry, this exceptional single malt is matured in a fractional method, always retaining a trace of the very first cask. The result? Unparalleled consistency, richness, and character in every bottle.

Crafted in Melbourne using locally sourced barley and matured exclusively in Apera (Australian sherry-style) barrels, Starward Solera delivers a bold, fruit-forward profile with silky smoothness. It’s a whisky that brings together the warmth of Australia’s climate with the elegance of traditional maturation techniques.

With every sip, you’ll uncover luscious notes of dried figs, burnt orange, toasted oak, and vanilla spice. Starward Solera is complex, approachable, and unique—perfect for those who appreciate bold innovation grounded in heritage.

 Apera Cask Solera Maturation: Australia Meets Andalucía

At the heart of Starward Solera is the Spanish solera method—a continuous aging system that involves topping up older barrels with new spirit. This ensures consistency from batch to batch, while deepening the flavor with every release.

Add to that the use of 100% Australian Apera casks, which are re-coopered, re-toasted, and carefully sized to create maximum wood contact. These casks impart a vibrant richness and add layers of dried fruit, sweet spice, and oak warmth.

Melbourne’s fast-changing climate accelerates maturation, helping the whisky soak up more character in less time, making Starward Solera one of the most flavor-packed new world whiskies on the market today.

 Bold Yet Balanced, Award-Winning Whisky

Starward Solera has earned global acclaim for its innovation and smooth, full-bodied flavor. Its balance of fruit, spice, and toasty oak makes it versatile—whether enjoyed neat, over ice, or in an elevated whisky cocktail.

With a refined 43% ABV and approachable profile, Starward Solera is ideal for both whisky newcomers and seasoned aficionados. It’s the kind of bottle that belongs on every home bar—crafted with care, designed to be shared, and made to be savored.

 A Distinctly Australian Whisky Experience

This isn’t your average whisky. Starward Solera is Australian through and through—from the Victorian barley to the local Apera casks and the dynamic weather that shapes every barrel. It captures the essence of innovation without losing sight of craftsmanship.

Founder David Vitale’s vision for Starward Solera was simple: create a whisky for the modern drinker using honest, local ingredients. The result is a smooth, bold spirit that fits just as comfortably into a casual nightcap as it does a fine dining pairing.

If you’re looking for a whisky that combines authenticity with adventure, Starward Solera is your next must-try dram.
