We know—It’s fall. A season known for mixing with warming spirits like whisky.

So, in honor of friends down under, we’re mixing two cocktails perfect for fall that combine the warming spirit of whisky with seasonal ingredients.

Founded in Melbourne by David Vitale, Starward is a new chapter of whisky, yet still rooted in tradition. This tradition, according to Vitale, is based on one thing—Melbourne’s local culture.

“All good whiskies talk to the place they’re made, in terms of ingredients, but the best, talk to the culture of the place,” shares Vitale. We’d have to agree since Starward was recently named the Most Awarded Distillery of the Year at the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, a humbling honor for a craft Australian whisky brand, and a message to the world that the spirits of the future have no boundaries.

 

Mix these seasonal cocktails and fall in love with Australian whisky.
