Introducing the 2nd of my new acquisitions and the latest Project release from @starwardwhisky, The Seafarer. Starward bolted a 225-litre French Oak barrel filled with Starward goodness to Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth cruise ship as it sailed the world for a whole year! The barrel experienced all the trappings of a grand voyage and endured temperatures ranging from 0 to 32 degrees Celsius. An experiment in how the maturation process influences a whisky, a sister cask was kept here in Melbourne as a control, aged in the distillery for the same amount of time. This is a one of a kind whisky that I have been lucky enough to get my hands on. Comes with a bottle of the Seafarer cask and a bottle from the Sister control cask. I really want to try this but part of me wants to hold onto it for a while and wait! This sold out ridiculously fast and as of the official release day there was only one left at the distillery - definitely gone now! #new #limitedrelease #starward #starwardwhisky #starwardprojects #whiskey #whisky #madeinmelbourne #supportlocal #homegrown #alcohol #drink #drinks #food #wine #takemymoney #localbusiness #whiskeylover #whiskeydownunder #whiskeygram #whiskyagogo #whiskyporn #seafarer #melbournewhisky #australianwhisky #melbournemade #cunard #thequeenelizabeth #sistercask #maturation #frenchoak #winebarrel https://www.instagram.com/p/BvncctXgGhS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qd0edt1tmimt
