Starward isn't trying to be your grandfather's Scotch. It's a Melbourne-born whisky distillery that treats tradition like a suggestion, not a rule—aging spirits in Australian wine barrels and building a digital-first brand that now pulls in 46,676 monthly visitors without relying on heritage.

"They're not selling whisky—they're selling a new way to think about whisky. And the market is buying it."

The tech stack reveals their modern approach: Tailwind CSS, Vite, PWA capabilities, and social-ready Twitter Cards. They're not just selling liquid in a bottle—they're selling an experience optimized for the digital age. When your top five keywords are all variations of your own brand name, you've achieved what most consumer brands spend millions trying to engineer: direct brand authority.
