Episode 122: Divergence Virgin Oak Single Malt Whisky
24 September, 2025
The second of the three sample pack I brought back with me is on the cards today. The Virgin Oak is matured for 7 years in European Oak casks…but is it balanced and lovely, or did they push it too far? Let’s find out…

Episode 121: Divergence Port Wood Single Malt Whisky Re-Review
21 September, 2025
Having returned to New Zealand for a Skiing Holiday with my oldest son in mid-July, I took the opportunity to visit the Divergence Distillery in Christchurch and do a tasting and a tour. It was awesome! I brought back a three pack of 200mL samples including my old favourite, the Port Wood that I reviewed in Episode 63. Does it still match up with my recollection? Let’s see…

Episode 120: AOB and Highwayman Diemens Rising 001 Blended Malt Whisky
17 September, 2025
AOB are located in Mullumbimby in Northern New South Wales, only 20k from Byron Bay, where the Highwayman Distillery is located. When AOB and Highwayman get together to create a Whisky, it’s worth paying attention. I’m thrilled to review their first collaboration, the Diemens Rising 001 to see what the joining of spirit made in the same still, on two different islands, in two different times can come together to create something truly special.

Episode 119: AOB Reality Is Not What It Seems Single Malt Whisky
14 September, 2025
AOB have two Whiskies available on their website and this offering is finished in ex-Peated Casks sourced from the Highwayman Distillery. I go into more detail about AOB themselves, their still and review this offering to determine if it’s the next step up from the Walking Along The Shore…just how big a step up that is.

Episode 118: AOB Walking Along The Shore Single Malt Whisky
10 September, 2025
In episode 40 I reviewed the AOB Pinot Noir Cask, as part of my Liqour Loot subscription that I had at that time. I couldn’t find a bottle for sale anywhere other than Liqour Loot themselves, but they were out of stock. Upon coming upon the episode, Pete Jaffe from AOB reached out and said…we have bottles of this…it’s actually called Walking Along The Shore, and would I like one? With a bottle now in hand, I re-review this offering. Is it as good as I remember? Or is it even better? Not only that, I go in-depth with economies of scale and how I’m now going to rank Craft Distilleries differently on cost. Let me explain how and why…

Episode 117: GlenDronach Ode To The Embers Single Malt Scotch Whisky
7 September, 2025
With the Odes to the Valley and the Dark now reviewed, the final release in the series, the Ode to the Embers, harkens back to the days when GlenDronach peated their malts. For me, it’s the first modern Peated GlenDronach I’ve ever tried. It’s also the most expensive, but is it actually the best one of the series? Or did we peak with the Dark?
