Starward Two-Fold is Melbourne’s modern double-grain whisky—malted barley and wheat distilled for clarity, then fully matured in Australian red wine barrels. Bright, fruit-forward and effortlessly stylish, it captures the city’s “four seasons in a day” energy in a smooth, versatile dram that’s as gift-worthy as it is easy to love.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Sun-ripe red berries and tropical lift glide from the glass with vanilla cream and gentle cereal warmth. The palate is plush and balanced—silky caramel dessert tones wrapped around juicy stone fruit, red-wine oak spice and sweet malt. It finishes long and delicate, a dry, moreish fade from soft sweetness to crisp refreshment.

Cocktail Pairings
Two-Fold shines where fruit and freshness meet. Pour a Two-Fold & Tonic or Apple Highball for bright, effortless refreshment; add rosemary and citrus for an aromatic twist. In classics, try a grapefruit-accented (New) Old Fashioned, a silky Whisky Sour, or a mellow Rusty Nail—the whisky’s red-berry charm and vanilla sweetness keep every serve beautifully balanced.
Craftsmanship & Story
Born in Melbourne’s Docklands, Starward marries all-Australian grain with barrels sourced from nearby wine country. Rapid “Melbourne years” maturation and meticulous cask selection deliver a distinctly Australian style: generous fruit, approachable spice and modern versatility—purpose-built for sipping, spritzing and the dinner table.
Special Features
A contemporary double-grain composition folded together for texture and lift, then matured exclusively in red wine barrels to imprint juicy berry tones and gentle oak spice. The result is a polished, fruit-forward profile at an easy 40% ABV—equally at home neat, on ice or in cocktails—and a standout value in premium everyday whisky.
