About StarwardAustralia
Starward is an Australian whisky distillery at 50 Bertie Street, Port Melbourne, Victoria. David Vitale started it in 2007 with the aim of making an affordable, approachable Australian whisky. In 2015 a funding injection from Diageo's Distill Ventures let it expand, and in 2016 it moved into new buildings in Port Melbourne. Starward says it pioneered red wine barrel maturation and sources its grain and red wine barrels from within a day's drive of the distillery. Beside its core range it puts out Projects releases, single barrels and some distillery only releases.
