Starward Nova Cocktail Kit

Delicious, audacious Australian whisky, Starward Whisky is made in Melbourne. Not the outback. Or a sunshine-soaked beach. Melbourne is the foodie capital of Australia, where they ditch the airs and graces and focus on flavor instead. That's why Starward uses red wine barrels to mature their whisky. They source all their whisky ingredients from just a day's drive away. Then, in the wildly varied Melbourne weather, their whisky draws out its signature fruity, delicious flavor in just three short years. They call this elemental maturation and it's why they couldn't make their whisky anywhere else.

Starward's Melburnian founder, David Vitale, grew up in a big Italian family. He's food obsessed without ever getting too serious or formal about it, resulting in a whisky that feels right at home at those moments spent around the dinner table. This is whisky for a curious, food-obsessed generation. Raise a few eyebrows and bring a bottle to BBQ. Pour it with tonic and watch jaws go to the floor. It's an eye-opening business, this new world of whisky drinking.

This special Starward Nova Cocktail Kit includes everything you need to make stunning Manhattans and Whisky highballs— including 16 oz stainless steel cocktail shaker.

Nova Single Malt Whisky is matured exclusively in red wine barrels from wineries making great Australian shiraz, cabernets, and pinot noirs. This whisky reflects Melbourne in every sip. From the vibrant foodie scene to the wild weather to the world-class, cool climate wine.

Dolin Vermouth De Chambery Rouge is a red vermouth with a very long history, punctuated with many prizes and awards. Its unchanged recipe is one of Starward's treasures. This vermouth has a lustrous coppery color, gentle aromas of fruit compote, prunes, and walnuts with grassy notes, tempered by spicy aromas like Szechuan pepper. This is followed by aromas of almond, citrus, pear, and cinnamon with gingerbread, tobacco, oregano and hyssop notes. This very rich bouquet is tempered by a subtle bitter base wine.

Dolin combines 30 to 40 spices and botanicals in its closely-guarded secret recipe. This French vermouth can be served as an aperitif on ice, a traditional before dinner drink in France but can also be a tasty ingredient in many cocktails, such as the famed Negroni and Manhattan.

Fever Tree Tonic is the perfect way to enhance the very best gins, vodkas and fortified wines, like vermouth, fino sherry and white port. By blending luscious botanical oils with spring water and quinine of the highest quality from the 'fever trees' from the eastern hill ranges of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Starward has created a delicious, award-winning tonic water. The bitter orange oils come from a co-operative of small specialist citrus farmers in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.
