Exploring the bustling lanes of Melbourne, we have always admired how Starward Distillery masterfully encapsulate the spirit of Australia in their bottles.

Our own Aroha Jakicevich recently ventured into their aging aisles where, under the guidance of Starward's Master Blender, Carlie Dyer, she made an unexpected and delightful discovery: at the back of the warehouse lay a unique whisky resonating with notes unheard of in the Southern Hemisphere.

The NZ Spirits Awards have revealed the best of the best in New Zealand spirits. Out of 451 entries, gold and double-gold medal winners were re-tasted to crown the ultimate trophy winners.

We’re proud to announce that Starward Single Barrel Cognac Cask was one of the coveted trophy winners.

Aged in red wine casks and finished in French Limousin oak cognac barrels, this whisky shines with rich notes of honeyed red apples, tobacco, and dried fruits and finishes with baked apples, vanilla, and ginger. Bottled at 52% ABV, non chill-filtered and naturally coloured, it’s an exclusive release for New Zealand.

As this release is a Single Barrel, once it's gone it'll be gone for good. Secure your bottle now while stocks last!

Starward
Single Barrel Cognac Cask

Hand-selected by Aroha Jakicevich for Glengarry, Starward Distillery introduces the limited edition Cask No. 16803. This whisky, rich in notes of honeyed red apples, tobacco, and dried fruits, first matured in red wine casks for three years. It was further refined for an additional 21 months in Limousin oak cognac barrels from France, imparting flavours of baked apples, vanilla, and ginger. Exclusive to New Zealand, this masterpiece reaches its opulent depth at 52% ABV without chill-filtering or artificial colouring. Dram in hand, the dominant sweetness of honey-kissed red apples comes forward, complemented by a delicate tobacco undertone.

STARWARD

Whisky for a curious and food-obsessed generation. Australia, and Tasmania in particular, has been building a thriving whisky industry, the through-the-roof demand leading to allocations and lofty prices.

Based in Melbourne, foodie capital of Australia, Starwards approach could be considered affordable while over-delivering on quality. After a decade-plus establishing themselves in the Aussie market, the focus turns abroad with a core selection of drams designed to be different, but still quintessentially Australian.

Founder David Vitale grew up in a big Italian family. Food obsessed without getting too formal about it, he knows his whisky feels right at home in those moments around the dinner table. Flavoursome, lighter in style, these award-winning whiskies deserve your attention, whether you sip neat, experiment in cocktails or hit a barbeque with a bottle of Two-Fold and some tonic.
