Peated Finish
Single Malt Whisky
We call it a "trophy release"
We took this special smoky expression out of our whisky vault in celebration of our recent wins at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. This smoky number won a Gold medal, but the real gold is in the bottle.
Meet Peated Finish
A New World take on an old classic, our Peated Finish is a single malt whisky aged in red wine barrels and finished in peated barrels straight off the rugged coast of Islay, Scotland. Melded with Starward's quintessential tropical notes and the smoky, earthy flavors from Islay’s coastal peat, expect a whisky that's unlike any other.
That's why it won a Gold medal at the recent 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
This is something special.
Tasting notes
COLOR \ Auburn
NOSE \ Bright tropical fruits, toasted oak followed by a hint of sweet peat.
PALATE \ Ripe red fruits, subtle peat smoke, yellow peach and mocha.
FINISH \ Palate slowly dries from the oak and has very long peated finish
Where there's smoke, there's flavor
We took our three-year-old, red wine cask matured whisky and transferred it into heavily saturated, peated casks, where it was left to finish for 18 months. Thanks to these premium quality ex-Islay casks, the flavor of our Peated Finish offers a deep, smoky finish that pays homage to the barrel's Scottish provenance. The spirit is perfectly balanced with our quintessential tropical fruit flavors, our signature.

I really enjoyed the Starward Peated Finish Whisky. Not as heavily peated as a, i.e. Laphroaig but a pleasurable distinctive peat aspect comes through with each mouthful.
