Looking to the future of the world whisky category, @davidvitale is confident a revolution of how whisky is consumed is on the horizon, and it’s one that is deep-seated in the @StarwardWhisky ethos of breaking with tradition ow.ly/TxRO50M131M

This is quite (another) moment for me. Ever since I started Starward the ambition has always been to make an accessible whisky that sits along side the best in the world. To be recognized in Australia as the best dark spirit under $69 just makes me feel like WE DID IT!
Our delicious Two-Fold #whisky has done it again 🥃Two-Fold has won The Best Dark Spirit Under $69.99 at the 2022 Australian Liquor Industry Awards where we were up against some of the world’s best and brightest! Congratulations to our team and our smooth, delicious winner.

This is the biggest moment in my whisky making journey to date. We won the Olympics of spirits. No other distillery - of Any spirit - took home more double golds!
We're ecstatic to announce that the @SFWSpiritscomp have awarded 12 of our whiskies Double Gold and 3 Gold. This is a true testament to our Australian ingredients and the team’s ability to keep our innovative ethos fresh. Beyond proud to share this with the world 💫

Warm-heartedness leads to a healthy mind. Peace of mind allows us to sleep soundly. I’m not talking about the benefits of the next life or of finding God, but of being a peaceful person with a calm mind and a warm heart here and now.
