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.
