On Part 2, we interview Kotryna Gesait,Starward East Coast Ambassador. Dave Smith, St. George Head Distiller. Nick Brady Maas, founder of Dancing Goat.(00:25 - 32:42) - Kotryna shares how her personal travels across the world collided with the Starward story: a new world whisky distillery on the path to make a pure Australian experience in a bottle. She also explains how Starward challenges the palate by using a rare technique of fully maturing single malts inside of fresh Australian red wine barrels. The brand stretches the imagination of what whisky can be.(32:48 -:58:54) - Dave shares how the collaboration between whiskey distilling and art combine to produce beautiful spirits that are meant to be shared during even more beautiful moments.
