Episode 106: Cape Byron Tawny Cask Single Malt Whisky
26 July, 2025
The sixth and final Cape Byron offering in this week of Byron culminates in a truly outstanding Single Cask offering…the Tawny Cask Single Malt. I also look at some of the requirements for becoming a B-Corp Certified company that Cape Byron worked very hard to achieve. In the end though, what can I say about this Whisky? I love a good Port finish, but is next-level yummy.

The Serendipity is Cape Byron’s Heavily Peated offering and whilst I debate what Heavily Peated really means in practical terms, I also touch on whether the principled arguement of Terroir makes sense if the Whisky tastes good or not. Oh, and I also review the Whisky!

The Cape Byron week continues today as I review their Stone Beer Cask offering. It’s a collaboration with the nearby Stone & Wood Distillery as they have a barrel-swap arrangement whereby Cape Byron Casks are used to mature a Stone Beer, then when they’re done, they give it back to Cape Byron to mature their whisky. The result is…well…pretty impressive!

With two down, the Chardonnay Cask is next and it doesn’t disappoint. After covering the pros and cons of aging your barrels near the ocean and looking at where they source their barrels from in the first place, I review the Chardonnay Cask, and whilst it was technically their second release…it’s my favourite Cape Byron Whisky of the three I’ve reviewed to date.

Episode 102: Cape Byron Viognier Cask Single Malt Whisky
22 July, 2025
The second of the Cape Byron Single Malts, the Viognier Cask was their third ever offering. After discussing the details about the Distillery production, including Fermentation, their still and warehousing for their barrels, I dive into the Viognier Cask and see how it stacks up.

Episode 101: Cape Byron The Original Single Malt Whisky
21 July, 2025
The Cape Byron Distillery is located within a 2-1/2hr drive from my home in Brisbane, Australia. I’m not accustomed to being so close to a Distillery and in my Whisky journey, this turned out to be the first one I’ve ever visited! I managed to obtain six samples of their offerings…today I talk about the history of how the Distillery came to be, how Eddie Brook and Jim McEwan met and how they collaborated to create the distillery and, obviously, I review their entry-level offering simply called The Original.
