. [link] Southern California Whiskey Club is delighted to welcome David Vitale, the founder of Starward Australian whisky. Starward has developed a world-class, premium whisky that challenges people's perceptions of what whisky can be. The distillery is focused on 3 things: whisky, culture and flavor. Although they have a foot firmly in the single malt world, they're also not afraid to draw outside of traditional constraints. Starward is available in Australia and 20 countries around the world
David Vitale will present the origin story of Starward Whisky (business and personal) and the challenges of Aussie Whisky in USA; covering successes, where the brand is going, and followed by an open Q&A.
