Dumangin Batch 022 Starward (Australia) 2017 Single Malt Whisky

This whisky is where Australia’s bold energy meets France’s refined elegance—like a sunburnt surfer stepping into a Champagne vineyard but still keeping the party alive. Made from 100% Victorian-grown pale malted barley, it aged for 3.5 years in Barossa red wine barrels before a luxurious 16-month finish in Ratafia Champenois casks. The result is a daring yet silky fusion of red wine’s bold intensity and Ratafia’s creamy sweetness, bottled at cask-strength 47% ABV, non-chill filtered, and limited to just 297 bottles—making this Aussie-French love affair as rare as it is unforgettable.
