Starward

Starward whiskies are crafted using 100% Australian barley and are aged in barrels that previously held Australian red wine, such as Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. This practice imparts rich, fruity notes to the whisky, creating a distinctive profile that sets Starward apart from other distilleries. The whisky is often characterized by flavors of red berries, orchard fruits, and hints of spice, with a smooth and balanced finish.

One of Starward's signature expressions is the Starward Nova, a single malt whisky aged in a combination of red wine barrels, known for its vibrant and complex flavor. Starward also produces other expressions, such as the Starward Solera and limited-edition releases, each showcasing the distillery's innovative spirit and dedication to quality.

By embracing Melbourne's dynamic climate, which accelerates the aging process, Starward has been able to produce mature, flavorful whiskies in a relatively short time. The distillery's approach to whisky-making, blending tradition with local influence, has made Starward a standout name in the world of whisky.
