About us
Crafted in Melbourne, Starward whiskies embody the city's adventurous spirit and are celebrated for their delicious versatility. Uniquely matured in red wine barrels sourced from Australia's famed wine regions and aged in a highly reactive environment, Starward’s whiskies exemplify Australian ingenuity, blending the best of the old world with the innovation of the new. In fifteen short years, we’ve grown immensely, taken our whisky to the world and won many prestigious awards along the way. Now, we’re Australia’s #1 whisky and we’re only just getting started. We’re a nimble and passionate team that takes incredible pride in what we do. Continuously pushing boundaries and leveraging Melbourne’s rapidly changing climate to mature our whiskies, Starward goes further for flavour. Resulting in a distinctly Australian whisky that’s approachable, versatile, and bursting with flavour. -- Most Awarded Distillery of the Year at the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

We’re so excited to open new doors and opportunities for our team. Here at Starward HQ we’ve seen some exciting team moves: 💫 Matt has been an integral part of our distilling team (upstream) looking after the copper stills. Now he’s moving to the other side of the whisky-making process (downstream), for all things blending. 💫Carlie Dyer has also excitingly become the Head Distiller of Starward, after her exceptional work with the blending team, for over 6 years. Read more about it at the link below. Congratulations both in your respective new roles, as we take whisky to new horizons https://lnkd.in/gQtmRjEh
