Production Notes

Starward Old Fashioned Bottled Cocktail is crafted in collaboration with STARWARD’s talented bartenders and distilling team, combining STARWARD whisky with house-made bitters and a very own wattleseed demerara syrup — a uniquely Australian trio of ingredients that come together to create an unforgettably smooth and aromatic take on the classic Old Fashioned. STARWARD whisky is elementally matured for three “Melbourne years” in Australian wine barrels, absorbing the character of some of Australia’s finest wine regions — all within a day’s drive of Melbourne — to produce a modern Australian whisky of exceptional depth, approachability and distinctly local character. Ready to drink and serving 10, this bottled cocktail requires nothing more than pouring over ice to deliver a world-class Old Fashioned experience.

History

STARWARD was founded by David Vitale, a Melbourne native inspired to create a spirit that reflects his home town — from its vibrant culture to its famed “four seasons in a day” temperature swings. In 2007, when he first started, the idea of an approachable, affordable Australian whisky — served neat or as a cocktail with food — was a bold leap of faith. While Australia had a well-established small-scale ultra-premium whisky scene, David pioneered an affordable, approachable and distinctly Australian whisky that could be offered to the world with pride. Melbourne — surrounded by some of Australia’s leading wine regions and regarded as the microbrewing capital of Australia — provided all the ingredients for a modern Australian whisky. The result is STARWARD: a whisky that pushes the boundaries of what whisky can be, and a bottled Old Fashioned that showcases it in a new and exciting way.
