A dad who is proud of Australian whisky and would rather drink something local than another Speyside.

What it is

Starward batch strength whisky at 52% ABV matured in Portuguese Ruby Port casks, with a hand-blown crystal Glencairn glass valued at $70. Member price $180. $15 flat shipping.

Why we picked it

Starward is the Melbourne distillery that made the rest of the world take Australian whisky seriously, and this is a club-exclusive batch-strength port cask release rather than the supermarket expression. The $70 crystal Glencairn accounts for a real share of the price, so the whisky itself is well bought.

Alcohol. Sold to over-18s only by The Whisky Club, who verifies age at checkout and on delivery.

Dispatch and transit are separate windows and the estimate on a product page is usually only the second one. How long Australia Post actually takes.

If it is wrong

30 days from the day you buy it, not the day Dad opens it. Buy this within a fortnight of the occasion or the window closes before the wrapping does.

Postage is not refunded on change-of-mind returns. Consumer guarantee remedies for faulty goods apply regardless of the 30 days.

A faulty, unsafe or misdescribed product carries a consumer guarantee no store policy can remove. The Whisky Club’s full terms.

What it has cost

One reading so far. We record every change from here, so a sale price later in the year can be measured against this one rather than against whatever a retailer says it used to cost. Why that matters.
