Our spiciest partnership yet! Melbourne’s most notorious hot sauce, aged in barrels that were dripping wet with our award-winning whisky. Rich and spicy notes from the barrel staves have generously seeped in. The result? A full-bodied, tongue tingling sauce.
NOSE // Strong pepper and shiraz vinegar up front. Notes of cardamom and bay leaf.
PALATE // After the initial heat, sweet banana and cherry characters shine through.
FINISH // A definitive oak and whisky kick
Our whiskies belong on the dinner table… and it seems they work well in sauces too! Our Whisky Barrel Aged Hot Sauce is bangingly delicious when splashed on a gourmet hot dog or used in a marinade for BBQ meats. Our favourite pairing? Drizzled over a bacon and egg burger stack and splashed into a Bloody Muriel (our very Melbourne take on the Bloody Mary cocktail).
We craft whisky for the bold, creative and irrepressibly curious food lovers out there and we take much of our inspiration from Melbourne’s eclectic and diverse food and drink culture.
Here at Starward we love Melbourne Hot Sauce’s approach to handcrafting small batch and all natural sauces. This limited release sauce was jammed full of Habanero and Jalapenos, lime, cardamom, cinnamon and bay leaves. Fresh cherries and banana were added to the mix to shine a spotlight on the fruity and tropical characters found in our red wine barrel aged whiskies. Aged at our Port Melbourne distillery in barrels that previously held our signature Nova Single Malt. We think we’ve said enough!
