Whisky Gift Guide for the Festive Season

The festive season is fast approaching, bringing excitement and a whirlwind of good times: we’re talking countless end-of-year celebrations, a packed social calendar, and a long list of loved ones you’re eager to spoil. At Starward, we believe it’s the thought that counts—and if it’s a thoughtful bottle of whisky being unboxed this year, even better. We’re here to make gift-giving simple, seamless, and quintessentially Starward. Whether for the whisky curious, cocktail connoisseurs, or die-hard whisky lovers, there’s no shortage of memorable gifts, some of which we’ve outlined right here in this helpful gift guide.

A festive gift as unique as them

Personalise Your Own Whisky

A one-of-a-kind whisky gift with their name on it? Now that’s a memorable present.

As part of this offer, you can choose two Starward products: our Wheat and Single Malt or Single Malt whisky. Once you’ve made your choice, all you need to do is customise the bottle with a name and write a message that’ll be included along with the bottle in a stunning gift box. The best bit?

Perfect for someone who doesn't mind a touch of decadence

Honeycomb 

Starward Honeycomb is our vibrant whisky created in collaboration with Honeycomb—a lively venue on Lonsdale Street, Melbourne—and Pure Peninsula Honey. This unique New Make Spirit is crafted by blending our Two-Fold whisky, matured in Australian red wine barrels, with fresh honey from Pure Peninsula Honey’s 4,500 hives. The result is a unique whisky with bright tropical fruits and ripe red notes on the nose, complemented by lightly toasted oak and a decadent honey finish. This a balanced whisky that’s perfect neat, in cocktails, or as a dessert topper.

RRP:  $85.00
