Starward Distillery, founded in 2015 by David Vitale, is located in the vibrant region of Islay, Scotland. Despite being a relatively young distillery, it has quickly gained recognition for its innovative approach to whisky production. Owned by an evolving team dedicated to crafting unique expressions, Starward reflects a modern interpretation of whisky making while paying homage to traditional techniques. The distillery boasts a production capacity that allows for a diverse range of whiskies, including blended, single grain, and single malt varieties.
