The Starward Two Fold is a distinctive double-grain whisky produced by the esteemed Starward Distillery in Melbourne, Australia. Crafted with a blend of malted barley to provide depth and Australian wheat for aromatic dryness, this whisky offers a unique and captivating flavor profile. The maturation process utilizes barrels from Australian wineries known for their exceptional shiraz, cabernets, and pinot noirs. These barrels, often still wet with wine, impart a unique character to the whisky.
Melbourne's variable climate plays a crucial role in the whisky's maturation, with each whisky matured separately before being expertly combined to create a harmonious blend. The result is a smooth, silky whisky with flavors of spiced vanilla, tropical fruits, cereal notes, and a delightful blend of red apples and berries.
The Starward Two Fold has garnered numerous accolades, including a Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Awards 2020 and the title of "Best Australian Blended Whisky" at the World Whiskies Awards in both 2019 and 2020.
Founded by David Vitale, Starward Distillery draws inspiration from Melbourne's innovative food culture and the success of Australian winemakers. Vitale set out to create an authentically Australian whisky, using locally sourced malted barley and select wine barrels for aging. The result is a richly fruity and flavorful whisky that has quickly earned a reputation for quality on the international whisky stage.

While the Starward Two Fold is praised for its fruity notes and smooth texture, some reviewers find it to be somewhat young and lacking in complexity. The whisky's aroma includes hints of red berries, vanilla, and ripe grapes, while the taste features red fruits, vanilla, and a touch of spice. The finish is noted as being short and fleeting. Overall, it is considered a good entry-level whisky, particularly enjoyable for beginners, though some feel it would benefit from more time in the barrel to develop deeper flavors.
