Episode 181 ft Patty Karakostas from Starward Whisky

Starward is Whisky for a curious, food-obsessed generation. They are made in Melbourne and they ditch the airs and graces and focus on flavour instead.

Starward make their own whisky here in Melbourne, it is matured in red wine barrels and they source all their ingredients within a days’ drive from the distillery which allows them to focus on being local and close to the source of production.

They deliver on an amazing experience for their customers who come to their purpose-built bar in Port Melbourne which is where we are recording the podcast with the head of hospitality and experience, Patty Karakostas in this week’s podcast.
