The Festive Season is upon us, the weather is warming up, and we’ve put together an absolutely unique once-in-a-lifetime tasting to celebrate.
Starward Whisky Distillery, whom you might know for their accessible and affordable Starward single malt, has moved their entire distillery from Essendon Fields to Port Melbourne as they ramp up production and expand as a distillery. As a special treat for SMWS members, we’ve secured a special preview night to come and see the new distillery, take in a tour of the facilities, and taste three Starward expressions (Solera, Wine Cask, and a New World Projects limited release). As if that’s not enough, we’ll also taste three rather old and very rare single casks from the Society ranging from 18 to 38 years of age. A true new world meets old world tasting of incredible whiskies!
A private tour, 6 x drams, a chat with Starward National Ambassador Paul Slater, a chat with SMWS National Ambassador Matt Bailey & me, and then we’ll head next door to Colonial Brewing Co. to enjoy some nibbles.
6.00pm to 7.00pm – meet at the Colonial Brewing Co. for a pre-tour festive ale
7.00pm to 8.30pm – tour and tasting starts at New World Whisky Distillery next door
Hope to see you there!
