A double-grain Whiskey aged in ex-Wine casks from Down Under.
David Vitale left the corporate training software market in 2007 to launch his vision for a uniquely Australian Whisky — New World Whisky Distillery in Melbourne. Shortly thereafter he developed his first brand to fulfill that vision, and he named that brand Starward. Early-stage funding for the project came from Diageo’s in-house funding division — Distill Ventures — and they were able to build their own production distillery in 2016 located in an old airplane hangar. And while Starward began as a producer of Malt Whisky, he has since expanded to a range of Whiskies and bottled cocktails that have taken Down Under by storm.
Technically, Starward Two-Fold Double Grain Whisky is hard to describe. Usually when you use the term “blended Whisky” it means a bunch of malt and grain Spirits assembled from several distillery sources. But really, this is a marriage of two Spirits from two distilleries — 40% Starward’s locally-sourced malted barley Spirit distilled in-house and 60% wheat distillate from Shoalhaven NSW distillery just south of Sydney. And since Melbourne sits in the heart of Australia’s Wine Country, the combined Spirit is aged in Red Wine casks.

Ratings & Reviews
Paul,
I found this to be a thoroughly delicious dram. The nose is wonderfully fruity. I found notes of apple and wood on the tongue. Quite a bargain at the price. Highly recommend.
Brad,
Smooth as a baby’s bottom. Unlike my teething 1 year old this whiskey doesn’t have much bite. Picked up some wine notes on the nose, much like when I get home and mommy has clearly had a hard day.
Scott,
Not up to the same standards as Starward's single malt, this has a nice sweetness without a strong bite.
Blake,
Nose before drinking: grapes, stone fruits Nose after drinking: vanilla wafers
Taste: wheat bite, green earthiness (arugula, dandelion greens), sweet wine notes
Finish: little to none, though the bite lingers after you swallow
Very nice for a young whiskey, and decidedly different from the bourbons I usually stick to; while not complex due to its young age, the flavors are sweet and enjoyable for anyone who loves a good wine-finished whiskey
Dustin,
I was very excited to try this, and perhaps I got my hopes up too high, but I was a bit disappointed. Not my favorite when drunk neat, but definitely tastes great mixed. Not bad, just not as good as I'd hoped.
