After years of building a solid product out of their former home in Essendon Fields the Starward distillery is now home to a unique venue in Port Melbourne. The new venue is Melbourne’s only distillery open to the public giving the whisky connoisseur an insight into whisky production and manufacturing.

This single malt whisky is produced as an addition to the main core range and has recently become a Melbourne bar staple thanks to its wonderful aromas and rich, caramel and creamy features. Goes amazingly well in an old fashioned cocktail or sipped neat in a Glencairn or Denver & Liely whisky glass.

This single malt was also awarded in the Whisky Magazine’s ‘World Whisky Awards’ as Australia’s ‘Whisky Of The Year’ runner up in 2017. It ran runner up only to its sister product the Starward Wine Cask Single Malt Whisky which is also available on our website.

If you visit the distillery be sure to sample some of the limited release ‘New World Project’ bottling’s they, at times, have to offer.
