Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
Whilst I’d discess Caol Ila in the past it was in the context of speculation of their contract distilling Smokehead Whiskies, and as a key part of many Johnnie Walker blends, including the Black Label. Today I’m going to review their 12 Year Single Malt to see how it stands…on it’s own two feet…
With John Chidgey.
I recently looked at importing a special bottle of Whiskey from the USA to Australia and the final number was so high, I didn’t do it. Also, with multiple listeners asking why Whisky is so expensive in Australia, I decided to do a deep dive and explain why Alcohol costs so much here…and it’s not because the exchange rate.

The last of the GlenGoynes in the tasting pack is the 18 Year Single Malt. I look at the unusual map line the Distillery straddles to decide if it’s schizophrenic or not…the distillery history and rate the Scotch. Is it worth that amount of money? Let’s find out!
With John Chidgey.
Continuing my exploration of the GlenGoyne offerings this time with the 12 Year Single Malt. I also look at how they prepare their barrels and blend different New Make in different casks to create their Distillery profile. Ultimately though how does it taste and is it better than the Chapter Three?
With John Chidgey.
The GlenGoyne Distillery motto is ‘Unhurried since 1833’ and we dig into the history of the Distillery and why they say that. The Chapter Three is the…I know…Third Chapter of special releases and we dive into what this one is in honour of and why…oh and review the Scotch too!

Having tried a LOT of Whiskies now, I return to my previously self-proclaimed ‘favourite’ Bourbon…the 101 Wild Turkey. I also look at how is compares now, today, against others I’ve tried including the Australian Corn Whisky, Neds Grand Reward. Will it still hold up as my favourite Bourbon…or has it lost it’s top spot?
