Everyone's favorite Melbourne distillery from Down Under has released a new experience — one that tastes like Sicilian panettone!

The limited release is Starward's classic Two-Fold whisky finished in Australian tawny barrels, and pays homage to the traditional Italian sweet bread, often enjoyed during the Christmas season. 

It was inspired by founder Dave Vitale's Australian Sicilian roots, where spending time with loved ones over food and drinks was the core of his festive season.

Official Tasting Notes

Aroma: Classic Two-Fold leading with bright tropical fruit notes, golden syrup, toasted almonds and some raisins.

Taste: Fruit forward with a subtle toasty character. The Tawny influence gradually takes hold and gives characters of Christmas pudding and toffee.

Finish: Full-bodied, Tawny influence on the finish, dried fruits, rum & raisin chocolate.

Bottled at 40% ABV, the Starward Panettone will retail at AUD$99.00. Those interested can sign up on Starward's site for exclusive early access to secure a bottle. 

Early access opens November 7th 2024.

Kanpai!
