Starward
Whisky done differently. Founder David Vitale grew up in a large, traditional Italian family, where food and informal get-togethers played a central role. Creating Starward was therefore a natural step: an approachable, versatile whisky without unnecessary fuss – crafted to be enjoyed every day, on every occasion.
Starward is crafted in Melbourne, Australia’s vibrant foodie capital, where flavour always comes first – not airs and graces. The city’s unique “four seasons in one day” climate enhances the whisky’s character: constant temperature changes draw out the full flavour from Australian red wine barrels. We call this elemental maturation. Thanks to aging in barrels from the Barossa and Yarra Valley, Starward offers a deliciously fruity taste with unmistakable wine cask richness.
