Starward VITALIS Australian Single Malt Whisky (700ml)

Volume: 700ml           ABV: 52%           Age: No Age Statement            Country: Australia

This special-edition whisky is a celebration of the Starward founder, David Vitale, and is named after the Latin origin of his family name Vitalis, meaning ‘life’. Vitalis is Starward Distilleries opportunity to celebrate where they’ve been and where they’re going.

Vitalis is a limited-edition single malt whisky matured in a combination of tawny, bourbon, apera (1^st fill and 2^nd fill) and rum barrels based on their connection to the Starward 15-year journey. Vitalis was matured in these barrels anywhere from 4-10 years, before being carefully assembled to create what you see (and hopefully get the chance to taste) today. According to Dave Vitale, Starward’s founder, the best way to enjoy Vitalis is neat, alongside a home cooked, sentimental meal. Basically, you should enjoy it with the ones you love – preferably around a dining room table. Bottled at 52% ABV and is a limited edition bottling.
