Whisky Whiskey

Having picked up a sample pack of Loch Lomond a few months ago, it’s time to try them starting with the Original. I discuss Chill Filtering, what it is and why Distillers do it, as well as some background on the Loch Lomond Distillery.

It’s been quite the journey for me over the past year…okay really mostly the past six months but we’re going to do this anyway! I go over everything I’ve learned about my own palette and preferences covering types of Whisky I like through to glasses I use. Most importantly I list off my favourite Whiskies for under $100 AUD across the four types of Whisky I’ve sampled the most in 2024.

Having reviewed the 16 year Single Malt on Episode 2, I was curious what the entry level Bushmills blended Whiskies were like. When visiting the USA in September 2024, I nabbed a gift pack of the Original, Red Bush and Black Bush samplers that I brought back home. I start with a post-review of the Original then try both the Red and Black Bush to see which, if any, are worth your time.

The Kentucky Spirit is an 8 year aged, apparently, Bourbon from my favourite Bourbon Distiller…Wild Turkey. It was this Whisky ironically, that kicked off my recent journey into Whiskies. I review the Spirit and also touch on what makes a Bourbon, a Bourbon.

Having tried the 10 year last episode, I dive in and check out the 16 year to see if it’s worth the extra money. Additionally I look at all of the Scotch regions, why they exist and whether or not you should pay any attention to Scotch Region definitions at all.
