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