A FIRST-EVER STARWARD RELEASE
We're excited to introduce our latest innovation, Starward Stout Cask. We took our award-winning spirit and aged it in coveted imperial stout barrels sourced from one our favorite Melbourne neighborhood breweries. This first-of-its-kind single malt whisky is a unique marriage of craft distilling and craft brewing, bringing you a result that's rich, dark, and delicious.
Where craft brewing meets distilling.
At Starward, our distillers love to re-write the rulebook, even though we have perfected our award-winning and cult-favorite recipes.
As with all of our limited releases, our distillers let their creativity, innovation and brewing backgrounds lead the way to bring you this never-been-done Starward release that truly showcases the best of both worlds between craft brewing and distilling.

It's all about the barrels.
Starward Stout Cask celebrates the magic ingredient behind the complex flavors in both whisky and imperial stout beer – the barrels! Our team took whisky aging in our signature red wine barrels and then matured it for a further 18 months in stout barrels that once held an Aussie-local coveted favorite from Melbourne brewery, Brick Lane.
Their series of award-winning stouts showcase bold flavors across three distinct barrel finishes, and our Stout Cask single malt soaked up every last detail of that rich, delicious flavor.
We're excited to introduce you to a whisky that's unlike anything Starward has ever done before.
