Starward
Melbourne's Urban Whisky Revolution
David Vitale founded Starward in Melbourne with a simple idea: use Australia's world-class wine barrels to make world-class whisky. Melbourne's wild temperature swings — four seasons in a day — accelerate maturation naturally. The result is a whisky that tastes like nowhere else on earth.
