Episode 151: Amber Lane Liquid Amber Single Malt Whisky
30 December, 2025
The last of the Amber Lane Core Range is the Liquid Amber, and being partly matured in ex-Pedro Ximénez casks it might just be the kinds of Sherry bomb that I have a soft-spot for…but how well can it compete with similarly matured Scotches? I don’t want to spoil the ending, but this dram…actually blew my mind.
With John Chidgey.

The first nice Scotch I ever tried was a bottle of this, however I didn’t initially like it at all… In an apology of sorts to the Lag 16, after taking time to understand why everyone raves about it, I finally nabbed a bottle of it. I talk about the history of the Lagavulin Distillery, it’s place on Islay, and what it is about this dram that makes it so special.

Laphroaig are a very polarising distillery. They say you’ll either fall in love with their Scotches, or you’ll hate them with a passion. At a Whisky Club night I tried the 10 Year Cask Strength for the first time and I was blown away. I dig into the history of the distillery, their unusual pairing of wash and spirit stills, and finally I review the 10 Year Cask Strength.

The Loch Lomond Signature Single Blend is about $10 more than their Reserve offering, so it misses out on being Ultra-Affordable. I dive into the Solera method of Whisky maturation that the Signature uses, and try to answer the question…is this worth the extra $10 over the Reserve…or not?

Episode 92: Grant's Triple Wood Blended Scotch Whisky
26 June, 2025
This is the final installment of the first ever Cheap Week series! With a strict budget of $50 or less for a 700mL Bottle in the Australian Market, I set out to prove whether it’s possible to find a good Scotch you can drink neat and enjoy…or whether you’re wasting your time. Today I tackle the Grant’s Triple Wood, which is a brand of William Grant & Sons. I look at their distillery, its history and the truly staggering scale of their Grain Whisky volume production…and I also rate this Scotch.

Episode 91: McAllister Reserve Blended Scotch Whisky
25 June, 2025
Welcome once again to another installment of Cheap Week! With a strict budget of $50 or less for a 700mL Bottle in the Australian Market, I set out to prove whether it’s possible to find a good Scotch you can drink neat and enjoy…or whether you’re wasting your time. This time I tackle the McAllister Reserve and look at how to identify Own-Brands with a simple Internet Search, and why I’m not a big fan of the practice of slotting and side-stepping it with own-brands. Oh, and I also decide if this is the best own-brand scotch I’ve tried…or if it isn’t.
