Episode 148: The Macallan 18 Year Sherry Oak 2017 vs 2024
24 December, 2025
Having just reviewed the 2024 release of the Macallan 18 Year Sherry Oak, I discovered what was left of my sample from many months ago of the 2017 release…so what’s a good Whisky-reviewer to do…? Why, side-by-side compare them of course…and pick a winner. This turned out very differently to what I’d expected…

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.

Episode 100: The Naked Malt Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
16 July, 2025
The artist formerly known at The Famous Grouse, came highly recommended to me by the Scotch 4 Dummies. I look into the constituent components of this dram, the SWAs ruling on Pure Malt vs Vatted Malt vs Blended Malts, as well as the impending sale of the brand to William Grant & Sons. Whilst I was somewhat skeptical at first, I review the Naked Malt and finally truly nail how all-Malts are so distinctively different than grain Whiskies. Is this my new best value Scotch?

The last of the Smokeheads from the Gift Pack I acquired is now up for try. The High Voltage is a 58% ABV offering and it lives up to its name. I look at some of the history of Ian Macleod, the distilleries they own, and that they don’t as well as mention some other Smokehead offerings. In the end though, as I review this Scotch…I can’t say that they didn’t warn me.

The Smokehead Trifecta continues with their Rum Rebel offering. It’s the first Rum-finished cask I’ve ever tried and it is, well, different for sure… I also shake my head a bit at the ’trendy’ website description and tasting notes but ultimately is this dram any good? Let’s find out.
