Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the quality of Starward’s whisky under $100 compare to their more expensive options?

At Starward, we believe that regardless of price point, every whisky deserves a spot in your collection (and on the dinner table). Every bottle of whisky that we craft is made in Melbourne, using the finest local ingredients within a day’s drive of our distillery and demonstrates impeccable quality. Many factors can influence price point – from ABV to the rarity of the barrel each whisky is matured in.

2. What are some highly recommended whiskies under $100 for beginners?

If you’re new to whisky, Two-Fold is a great place to start. It’s wheat and single malt whisky, folded together and matured in Australian red wine barrels, meaning it’s as versatile, approachable and delicious as whisky gets. The wheat whisky brings a beautiful lightness and cereal character to the whisky, while letting the tropical notes of our signature spirit shine through. Try it served neat or over ice, in a highball, or our personal favourite, in a New (Old) Fashioned.

3. What makes Starward’s whisky under $100 a good choice for whisky enthusiasts?

All of our Melbourne-made whiskies will win the hearts of whisky lovers, but we can’t go past Nova. Our signature single malt Platinum medal winner. Fully matured in Australian red wine barrels, meaning it’s bursting with notes of red berries, chocolate, and soft oak spice.

4. What flavour profiles can I expect from Starward whiskies in this price range?

Thanks to Starward’s signature red wine barrel maturation, our entire core range of whisky showcases distinct and delectable notes of red orchard fruits, berries and spice. This also compliments the tropical notes of pineapple and banana, from our new make spirit.
