Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
The ‘Select’ is Laphroaigs entry level Whisky and whilst it can be found out and about, I’d yet to try it! That changes now. Does this Laphroiag still pack a peaty-punch, or is it’s 40% ABV just a bit too low to deliver the flavour and mouthfeel I’ve come to associate with Laphroaigs? Let’s find out…

I first tried this Dram at the first ever Whisky Club night I ever attended and that was a year ago. It was my second favourite Whisky of the evening and when I saw an amazing price for a bottle, I grabbed one. It remains the only Japanese Whisky I’ve ever bought…let me review it and I’ll explain why.

Way back in Episode 43 I reviewed Batch 006 of this exact Whisky…and I lamented the fact that I couldn’t buy a bottle of it in Australia. Dan Murphy’s website showed no stock of any Batch of it, anywhere in Australia so imagine my surprise when I was wandering through a Store I spotted a Batch 007 on the shelf! It was even cheaper than the website list price so I grabbed it…and today I’m going to review the 007 with 006 and see how it stacks up.

The final sample I grabbed from the New Zealand Whisky Collection’s Cellar door in July this year is also the strongest. It’s a strong and bold presence in this Whisky, but of all the ones I’ve reviewed, is it actually the best?

The Oamaruvian Revolution is considered to be the truest expression of the New Zealand Whisky Collection’s new Dunedin distillery character. How well does it stack up against the more traditional offerings in the Collection? There’s only one way to find out…

The Double Wood 16 Year Old comes from original Willowbank stocks and there are only a hundred or so bottles remaining. I grabbed myself a full sized bottle of this after I tried it in the tasting at the Cellar Door. Let me explain how this Whisky has a bizzare and amazing split personality.
