Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
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.

The Archie Rose Distillery is located in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney and in just over a decade has begun producing excellent Whiskies including the very interesting and competitively priced, Double Malt. Their publicly stated goal is to provide the Australian Public with an option for a sub-$85 local Whisky rather than an import. A choice it is…but does it beat the imported competition? Let’s see.

Once I discovered what a Toji was, that’s a Master of Sake by the way, I learned about the Eigashima or White Oak Distillery in Akashi. It’s primarily built for and produces Sake which is Japanese Rice Wine, however for two months of the year their Toji produces Whisky. With a Sake Master at the helm, just how good is it? Let’s find out.

The Kirin Fuji Gotemba Distillery in Japan is located on the foothills of Mount Fuji, and the make Grain, Malt and Blends at their own Single Distillery. Today I review their Single Malt…it is particularly interesting.

Koval is Yiddish for someone who ‘forges ahead’ and was founded by Husband and Wife Team in Chicago, Illinois in the United States specialising in the production of both Organic and Kosher Whiskies. They’ve released a Millet Whisky which is something unusual in the world and as I review it, frankly, I’ve never tasted anything quite like it.

Westward Distillery is part of Portlands growing Distillery Row in downtown Portland. With a strong focus on their fermentation and leveraging their founders experience in Brewing Beer, Westward uses locally sourced Barley from Oregon as well as Wine Casks from a local winery and are turning heads the world over. I review their Pinot Noir Cask offering…and it’s rather good…
