Starward Left Field is een Australische single malt whisky die rijpt in vaten die eerder Australische rode wijn bevatten. Deze innovatieve benadering geeft de whisky een uniek karakter dat afwijkt van traditionele Schotse of Amerikaanse stijlen. Starward distilleert in Melbourne en maakt gebruik van het warme, wisselvallige klimaat van Victoria om versnelde rijping en intense vatinteractie te realiseren.

De naam 'Left Field' verwijst naar de onconventionele keuze om rode wijnvaten te gebruiken in plaats van de gebruikelijke sherry- of bourbonvaten. Dit levert een whisky op met uitgesproken fruitige tonen en een zachte, toegankelijke structuur. Geschikt voor whiskyliefhebbers die op zoek zijn naar iets anders dan de standaard.

Geur en smaakprofiel

  • Neus: Rode bessen, kersen en gedroogd fruit met hints van vanille, eikenhout en subtiele kruidige tonen
  • Smaak: Rijpe kersen, frambozen en pruimen, gevolgd door mout, karamel en lichte pepernoten
  • Afdronk: Middellang met zachte fruitigheid, eikenhout en een vleugje chocolade
  • Mondgevoel: Zijdezacht en vol met een fluweelachtige textuur en aangename warmte

Starward Left Field is direct verkrijgbaar in onze webshop en in onze slijterij in Amsterdam.

Meer details over productie & het verhaal van de maker

Hoe wordt het product gemaakt?

Starward Left Field begint met 100% Australische gemoute gerst, voornamelijk afkomstig uit de regio's Victoria en New South Wales. De gerst wordt gemalen en gemengd met water uit de Yarra Valley, waarna fermentatie plaatsvindt met speciale gistsoorten die fruitige esters produceren.

Na fermentatie volgt dubbele distillatie in koperen pot stills. Het resulterende new make spirit gaat vervolgens in vaten die eerder Australische rode wijn bevatten – voornamelijk Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon en Pinot Noir uit bekende wijnregio's zoals Barossa Valley en Yarra Valley. Deze vaten zijn vaak slechts één keer gebruikt voor wijn, waardoor ze nog volop smaak afgeven.

De rijping vindt plaats in Melbourne's wisselvallige klimaat, waar temperatuurschommelingen tussen 10°C en 40°C zorgen voor intensieve interactie tussen whisky en hout. Dit versnelt het rijpingsproces aanzienlijk – drie jaar in Melbourne staat gelijk aan zes tot acht jaar in Schotland. Het resultaat is een jonge whisky met verrassend veel diepgang en complexiteit.

Na rijping wordt de whisky gebotteld zonder koude filtering en zonder toegevoegde kleurstoffen, op een alcoholpercentage van 40% ABV.

Het verhaal van Starward

Starward werd opgericht in 2007 door David Vitale in Melbourne, Australië. Vitale's visie was helder: maak whisky die het unieke Australische klimaat en de lokale ingrediënten omarmt in plaats van Schotse tradities te kopiëren. Hij zag het warme, wisselvallige klimaat van Melbourne niet als obstakel, maar als voordeel.

De distilleerderij maakt bewust gebruik van Australische wijnvaten – een logische keuze gezien de wereldklasse wijnproductie in het land. Deze benadering creëert een onderscheidend smaakprofiel dat Starward internationaal op de kaart heeft gezet. De whisky's zijn fruitiger en toegankelijker dan traditionele single malts, zonder in te boeten aan complexiteit.

Starward produceert inmiddels meerdere expressies, maar Left Field blijft een kernproduct dat de filosofie van het merk perfect illustreert: lokale ingrediënten, innovatieve rijping en respect voor het ambacht. De distilleerderij heeft inmiddels internationale erkenning gekregen en exporteert naar meer dan 20 landen, terwijl het trouw blijft aan zijn Australische roots en experimentele karakter.

Comfortable and stylish
Size: 12, Color: Black
I'm very pleased with these shoes. I rarely write reviews, but these are extremely comfortable and stylish. I bought a black pair and a brown paid. Many times I have to get a wide, but the standard size 12 fits me well. Easy to slip into, yet still snug while walking. I feel like the price is reasonable too. Good cushioning, not too thin of a sole.

Good looking shoe.
Size: 9 Wide, Color: Cognac
It's a good looking should which is true to size. Quality is good. However, it is not leather. Inner and outer covering are man made. For me, it's okay. I ordered a 9W which I knew would be no more than a triple E width. I'm actually a quadruple E width so it's taking a little longer to break in. I won't be using these as often as at this stage of my life, I don't have that have functions that require dressier shoes. I'm happy with this purchase, a good value for the price. The slip in feature works well like my Sketcher slip in.

Sleek, upscale and supremely comfortable
Size: 9, Color: Cognac
I did not know that Marc Joseph makes hands free slip ins. I own four pair of Skechers, and I thought they were the only game in town. I decided that I wanted a pair of business casual pair of wingtips. I already own two pair of Skechers Mark Nason wingtips in blue and black nubuck, so I bought a pair of their cognac colored. Perfectly fine shoes, but when they arrived, I didn't like the color, so the search was on! I found these cognac-colored Mark Joseph's and hands down, they fit the bill for what I was looking for! I actually bought two more pair of Skechers in the brown family in the same oxford, elastic lace style: One pair of another style of their Mark Nason line and one pair of their Garza line. So now I am comparing three pair of Skechers to the Marc Joseph's. Obsessive, I know :). Luckily, I have a Skechers store near me for easy returns. The look I was going for is a sleek, business casual that I could dress up or down. Three things that I love about the Marc Joseph's are the beautiful cognac finish: the white yet lower profile soles and the more formal, narrower toe style. The MJ's nailed it with the color. They have a slightly darker, more lustrous and glossier look than the others. The color alone looks classier and pairs well with black pants which I wear for work almost every day. The white soles are exactly what I was looking for. The visible rise is probably about a third of the thickness of the others and are a much more subtle, classier look. They offset the cognac color nicely but are not that in your face, sneaker looking, thick white sole. When I was comparing them to the others right out of the box, I thought they would be too narrow and tight because they looked sleeker and narrower than the others. But they fit perfectly and were very comfortable right out of the box. Upon closer inspection and comparison, I realized the narrower, sleeker look is because the eyelets for the elastic shoelaces are closer together that give the illusion that the shoe is narrower. They compensate for what might create a tighter fit across the top of your foot with two stretchy "gores" they are called on either side of the upper part. The "slits" are nicely finished, and you can't see the stretchy part and add a nice design touch to the shoe. But between them and the elastic shoelaces, they must stretch just enough to make them extremely comfortable across the top. So, if you have a high instep/arch, they should accommodate it nicely. Last but not least, they are very comfortable shoes. I wear a size 8 1/2 to 9 and my foot is slightly on the wide side. I bought the size 9's and they fit perfectly. If you are between sizes or have wider feet, you may want to size up a half size. Because the Skechers have much thicker soles, they might be slightly more cushioned, but the MJ's are cushioned more than enough for my purposes and very comfortable. Plus, they actually just feel better on my feet. I can't speak to how durable they will be as I just got them, but so far, so good. So, there you have it. I rely on other people's reviews a lot when buying online, and especially for shoes. I know it's always a crap shoot, particularly when buying shoes online, so I hope this review helps. Everybody's feet are different, but I highly recommend these.
