The Australian Standard

Starward’s unwavering commitment to excellence has redefined the Australian whisky scene. Their approach is deeply rooted in local ingredients, with everything sourced within a day’s drive of their Melbourne distillery. By utilizing some of Australia’s finest red wine barrels, Starward imbues their whiskies with a distinct profile that truly reflects the essence of the region. The unique climate of Melbourne, known for its unpredictable weather, plays a pivotal role, allowing the barrels to expand and contract, which enhances the extraction of those delectable red wine flavors.

As Dave Vitale, founder of Starward Whisky, passionately states, > “At Starward, we’ve always believed that whisky should be more reflective of the Australian spirit – everything from the grains to the barrels. The Starward Flight: A Whisky Experience to New Horizons is our way of sharing that passion with more people across the country while offering a whisky tasting experience like no other.”

For those eager to delve into this extraordinary flavorscape while experiencing a one-of-a-kind celebration of the best of Australian whisky, the Starward Flight event is an opportunity not to be missed.
