New World Distillery began after a chance meeting in 2004 resolved to produce a Malt, an exceptional Australian Whisky, distilled from a mash of the finest Tasmanian barley and pristine spring water. One of many, many things that Australia has aplenty, are seasoned oak wine casks, lots and lots of them. The team at Starward take their pick from the most prestigious wineries, a barrel here and a barrel there, casks that are just so, for the indulgent infusion of amazing complexities into the new world's finest Single Malt.
