Originally founded by David Vitale in 2008, the Starward Distillery was moved to bigger site in Melbourne just 8 years later. Now they’ve become one of the most prominent and well-known Australian whisky producers. The Starward Nova is a double-distilled single malt made using locally sourced barley. The barrels are sourced from wineries in the nearby Yarra Valley and Barossa Valley. The result is a uniquely Australian whisky that pairs very well with diner.
