Episode 172: Caol Ila 12 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky
16 February, 2026
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.

The first review I’ve ever done of an Independently Bottled Whisky, today I look at the TIB Peated Vatted Malt…Number 2! Having tried this at a Whisky Club night, I dive into what IBs are, how they work, and about who Tim Duckett is and the overlap with the famous Australian Lark Distillery. They only made 184 bottles of this stuff…and I grabbed the last one in Australia. So what’s so good about this? Let me explain…

The first nice Scotch I ever tried was a bottle of this, however I didn’t initially like it at all… In an apology of sorts to the Lag 16, after taking time to understand why everyone raves about it, I finally nabbed a bottle of it. I talk about the history of the Lagavulin Distillery, it’s place on Islay, and what it is about this dram that makes it so special.

Laphroaig are a very polarising distillery. They say you’ll either fall in love with their Scotches, or you’ll hate them with a passion. At a Whisky Club night I tried the 10 Year Cask Strength for the first time and I was blown away. I dig into the history of the distillery, their unusual pairing of wash and spirit stills, and finally I review the 10 Year Cask Strength.

The Loch Lomond Signature Single Blend is about $10 more than their Reserve offering, so it misses out on being Ultra-Affordable. I dive into the Solera method of Whisky maturation that the Signature uses, and try to answer the question…is this worth the extra $10 over the Reserve…or not?

Episode 92: Grant's Triple Wood Blended Scotch Whisky
26 June, 2025
This is the final installment of the first ever Cheap Week series! With a strict budget of $50 or less for a 700mL Bottle in the Australian Market, I set out to prove whether it’s possible to find a good Scotch you can drink neat and enjoy…or whether you’re wasting your time. Today I tackle the Grant’s Triple Wood, which is a brand of William Grant & Sons. I look at their distillery, its history and the truly staggering scale of their Grain Whisky volume production…and I also rate this Scotch.
