Fortis, coming from the Latin meaning ‘bold’ or ‘brave’, brings the intensity. This single malt whisky hailing from Starward distillery in Australia has been matured exclusively in American Oak barrels, most from Barossa Valley wineries, where they once held powerful shiraz and cabernets. Some are charred for complexity, whilst most of left fresh to infuse the intense red wine notes into the expression. The result is a rich, full-bodied flavour balanced with the approachable velvety smoothness. Bottled at 50% abv, free from chill filtration. Expect upfront notes of Madagascan vanilla pod and toasty oak, alongside blackberries, fig and plum. The palate is all chocolate ganache, cinnamon, quince, banana bread and Muscadelle raisin with a lingering baking spiced finish.

Pleasantly surprised. Well worth the try. Will be purchasing more Starward whiskies.
Read an article about the awards Starward had won, so ordered a bottle - it is an absolute corker! As a single malt fan, this is an absolute winner for me. Slightly oaky, smooth and gentle and with a sweetish finish. Loved it so much I’ve already ordered a second bottle - I think this love affair will be a long one.
So smooth and wonderful - I only wish my Dad could taste it as he loved his whiskey ( only 2 fingers mind you each night and he lived til 96 ! )A taste sensation
I normally drink my whisky at room temperature but I found when you add ice to the Fortis it unlocks a while range on new flavours. One of the best whisky’s I have ever had the privilege to drink!
This is a superb whiskey in every sense. Though by no means a connoisseur it’s the best tasting whiskey I’ve tried.
smooth with an excellent taste. just add ice and enjoy
the perfect whisky for a quiet relaxing night at home... a glass of fortis goes well on its own or accompanied with coffee/cheese
