When Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector (Jump over the Age / Gareth Damian Martin, 2025) was announced, it was a surprise, but it also jumped straight to the top of my most anticipated games list. And while it fulfills the promise of a sequel by doubling down on the strengths of the first game, it also introduces some harsh mechanics that took a lot of people by surprise.

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is a game about stories and potential. It is about rebellion and hope as much as they are about loss and defeat, a fork in the road coming down to decisions and dice. Decisions where the people around you can become found family or lost in the echoes of the dark abyss you move through. Decisions where one closed door could be drenched in meaning, as much as it could just be an impassable roadblock. It pushes and challenges you at every corner, forcing you to adapt and live in its galaxy rather than adjust to yours.

It brings us a lot of joy to continue to shine a light on the amazing craft beer scene in Australia here on the pod, and the latest returning Aussie legend is Mirek from The Mill. First appearing on the podcast back in 2018, Mirek joined Cee to catch up on what's been happening for the last 5 years, the growth of the beer scene in Collingwood (a suburb of Melbourne where The Mill is based), their move into a production facility, how their brewpub has developed and the importance of their food partner, why it's key for them to deliver beer that everyone can enjoy, the state of the Aussie beer scene, a deep dive into both the Australian and New Zealand hop growing world, and their barrel program. Mirek crushed their Solana West Coast Pilsner and Haze NEIPA, while Cee cracked open a bottle of their 2018 variant of The Great Russian, a Starward barrel-aged Russian Imperial Stout.

Red, Red Wine Casks There are certain things we take for granted with whisky - American whiskey will mostly be new charred oak, Scotch will be ex-bourbon or ex-sherry, and the rest of the world will likely use ex-bourbon casks as a default for maturation. This leads to a generalization of taste, an expectation that certain flavors will always be there.  When starting Starward Whisky, one of the first Australian whisky distilleries after Lark's start in 1992, Dave Vitale wanted something different. He found a calling card in using Australian red wine barrels. Notably, these were not charred, just toasted, since they were used for wine and not spirit. The same goes for the occasional Apera (Australian sherry) cask.  The result was and is something totally new - a whisky that blended the grains of Australia with a four-seasons-per-day climate and an uncharred barrel. The results have been astounding, starting with the core Nova and Two-Fold range and continuing through single barrels and special finishes.  Starward is proud of its Australian roots, and each decision along the way has been in keeping with that at the forefront. If you get a chance to visit Melbourne, take in the incredible food scene with a glass of Starward on the side - they are truly meant to go together.  Thanks everyone for listening, and thank you to Dave for entering the Whiskey Ring! _________________________________________________________ If you haven't joined the Patreon community yet, please consider doing so at patreon.com/whiskeyinmyweddingring If you haven't yet, please follow Whiskey in my Wedding Ring and the Whiskey Ring Podcast on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, and subscribe to the newsletter on the website.  Starward Whisky Starward Whisky Website Starward Whisky on Instagram Starward Whisky on Facebook Starward Whisky on Twitter/X Thanks to our Lead Sponsor, Black Button Distillery  Black Button Distilling Website Black Button Distilling on Facebook Black Button Distilling on Instagram Thanks to our Presenting Sponsor, ImpEx Beverages https://impexbev.com ImpEx on Instagram ImpEx on Facebook ImpEx on Twitter

Welcome to another episode of Distillery Nation, the podcast where we explore the world of craft distilling and speak to the people behind the spirits. Today, we had the pleasure talking with Dave Vitale, founder of Starward Whisky, an Australian distillery that specializes in producing unique, high-quality whisky. In this episode, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Dave and discussing his journey in the distilling business, the inspiration behind Starward Whisky, and the process of building their core DNA. Dave has been a trailblazer in the industry, and his passion for creating exceptional spirits is evident in every bottle of Starward Whisky. We started the conversation by delving into Dave's early beginnings in the distilling business, where he shared his experience of working with some of the most prestigious distilleries across the globe. Dave talked about how these experiences inspired him to start his own venture and create something that was unique to the Australian market. Dave's dedication to quality and innovation has been the driving force behind Starward Whisky's success. In this episode, we learned how he and his team have built a unique distillery that is focused on crafting exceptional whiskey that is true to its roots. From the choice of raw materials to the use of local ingredients, Dave emphasized the importance of maintaining a close relationship with the environment, which plays a vital role in shaping the final product. Throughout the interview, Dave stressed the importance of having a team of people who believe in your vision and are dedicated to working towards a common goal. He talked about the challenges he faced in the early stages of Starward Whisky and how he overcame them by surrounding himself with people who shared his passion for creating exceptional spirits. So, sit back, grab a glass of whiskey, and join us as we take a deep dive into the world of Starward Whisky and the man behind it all, Dave Vitale. This is an episode you won't want to miss.

Four years ago I met a man from Australia with ambition to build his whisky brand in the United States. He held an irrational belief that was nearly contagious. In 2009, Starward founder David Vitale built a single malt distillery in Melbourne—when whisky distilling barely existed in Australia. in just 15 years, he went from hand-selling his whisky on folding tables in corporate offices to Distillery of the Year in 2022. Hear the full Starward journey from the founder's perspective.Guest: Dave VitaleHosts: Jake Hukee & Callum O'DonnellVisit STARWARD WHISKY hereListen to more episodes and read stories at keyinthelake.com

Saltsmith is the brainchild of Simon Lawry and David Ball, two friends with a vision to show Australian consumers what's possible with a rasher of bacon.  While working full time jobs, the two have harnessed Simon's hobby of making charcuterie to commercially produce bacon - chosen out of personal interest and early customer feedback.  Now - around three years later - the pair produce three types of commercial streaky bacon - including one in collaboration with the Starward Distillery. 

Melbourne's Starward Whisky has released smaller batch experimental products ever since the very early days.And some of these, like the Ginger Beer Cask that we explored in depth with founder David Vitale in Season 13, have gone onto bigger things.In 2020, the company created the Small Batch Experimental Series as a home for its smaller one-off releases that haven't reached the scale required for wider distribution; showcasing new flavours, specialty ingredients and unique barrels or distilling processes.In this special episode of Drinks Adventures ­– produced with the support of Starward – head distiller Sam Slaney will take you through some of the most recent Small Batch releases including Chardonnay Cask, Starward's first whisky matured completely in white wine casks.It was also an opportunity for me to ask Sam some more general questions about the barrel program at Starward, which has mastered red wine cask maturation to great success, claiming the title of Most Awarded Distillery at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2022.I should point out that the Small Batch series discussed in this episode is currently available to Australian listeners only.If you are listening locally, the three most recent releases – Chardonnay Cask, Munich Malt and Toffee Apple – are all available to purchase direct from the distillery at starward.com.au.Click here to open episode in your podcast player.

Happy Friday!  Today the boys bring two special treats: Matt brings an Australian Whisky made of 100% wheat, the Starward Single Barrel Single Grain, and Drew brings a 20+ year old bottle of Chinaco Reposado.  These are two amazing bottles that pair so nicely together, as revealed in the QuickSips™!   You know these aren't recorded and released in order, right?  Go back in time as the boys discover how to adjust the volume of the QuickSips™ to equalize proof- something they've now been doing for months.  It's just like the metaverse! So drink along and discover bright tropical flavors, stewed fruits, deep dark notes, the proper way to consume cornbread, and how every mother in the 80's coveted those big Country Crock tubs.
