It’s officially chocolate season. And if, like us, you have a sweet tooth then do we have a treat for you: HER Honeycomb. Let’s be honest, this is a whisky you can enjoy all year round, but it seems fitting to give it a shoutout right now because it pairs superbly with chocolate – especially as a delicious dessert topper or in a chocolate-flavoured cocktail. Here’s the lowdown on this one-of-a-kind whisky and why it needs to be added to your sip list immediately.  The sweetest team As you’ve probably guessed from its name, Starward HER Honeycomb has something to do with HER: a positively ..read more

Starward says: PSA: whisky and chocolate are made for each other. If you haven’t had the pleasure of sipping a dram of your favourite whisky and nibbling on a piece of choccie, then you’re missing out.  Whisky and chocolate are such a dynamic duo that our friends at Hunted+Gathered created two exclusive and limited-edition chocolate products that perfectly complement our HER Honeycomb. This is a whisky that’s already outrageously delicious thanks to its decadent Pure Peninsula Honey richness and bright, fruit-forward notes: pair it with Hunted+Gathered chocolate and your tastebuds are in ..read more

Our take on the iconic Pimm’s Cup, this cocktail is like Summer in a glass.

A simple shaken cocktail that’s the perfect combination of sweet and sour. We blend HER Starward Honeycomb with egg white (or aquafaba) for a dash of body and a velvety texture, topped with the brightness of lemon and a sweet Maraschino cherry.

Our take on a sour blends the smooth, spiced and toasty notes of HER Starward Honeycomb with the delicate white floral palate of Marionette Peach Liqueur along with a syrup of herbaceous chamomile cooked down with the warmth of honey then infused with the sweet, juiciness of peach. The silky, foamy texture of this cocktail also serves to uplift and allow all the individual flavours to shine with each sip SERVES 1 Ingredients:  20ml Honey, Peach & Chamomile syrup 50ml HER Starward Honeycomb 10ml Marionette Peach Liqueur 8 drops peach bitters 10ml aquafaba or egg white 15ml lime juice F ..read more
