1/A members' price on Starward Solera has just lapsed. It is back to its full $143 at Dan Murphy's this week, so a member now pays what everyone else does. Worth eyeing the cheaper bench-mate while the gap is open.
2/The engine's second-nearest match to the Solera, scored on make-up and worth, is its own stablemate: Starward Unexpeated, at $75. Same Melbourne distillery, same Australian single-malt idea, a shade over half the Solera's ticket.
3/That is about $68 between them. The value model ranks Unexpeated 2nd of the Solera's neighbours; the profile model is less sure and puts it further down. So read this as a worth-for-money call, not a they-taste-the-same one.
4/So, the Solera at $143 now the members' deal has gone, or the Unexpeated at $75 off the same bench? Both Dan Murphy's today. What is Starward going for near you?
