Starward began with a simple idea, imagine a whiskey unshackled from tradition. STARWARD NOVA epitomises this approach to whisky making. Our barrels are sourced from Austrialian winemakers and with minimal intervention, they are filled to retain the flavour, texture and essense of Australian red wine. The result is a truly unique single malt whisky that reflects the place it is made.

Recent winner of Best Australian Whisky Innovator and crowned Best Craft Distilled Whisky in the world in 2016, NOVA is an impeccable reflection of what whisky can be.
This unique expression draws most of its influence from the vibrancy of Australian red wines. For this whisky, Australian red wine barrels have been individually selected and kept exactly as they leave the winery to take advantage of a uniquely Australian red wine profile. The barrels are not charred, to retain the wine to oak character.
