Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
On my trip to New Zealand in July this year, my son and I stayed near Christchurch and while there I stopped by at the lovely Whisky Galore store. They had so many I would have liked to have grabbed however this bottle caught my eye. I grabbed it, had some of it while I was there but couldn’t bring it home to Australia with me, so just brought back a sample. I’d tried and enjoyed the Batch 6 at a Whisky Club night last year…how does the Batch 11 compare?

Having reviewed the Ned’s Grand Reward in the Advent Calender from 2024, today I review their entry-level offering…an Australian Corn Whisky they simply call ‘Ned.’ Since it’s made in Australia it can’t be called a Bourbon but as an Ausskey, how does it stack up against the big names from the USA?
With John Chidgey.
Having reviewed all of the Whiskies in the 2024 Global Whisky Advent Calendar from Liquor Loot, it’s time to highlight my favourite five Whiskies from the calendar, and to provide an assessment in summary…was it worth it?
With John Chidgey.
Only the second Glendalough Irish Whisky I’ve tried, today I review their Double Barrel offering. It’s cheaper than my other favourite Glendalough, the Pot Still, but this one is a Single Grain. How does it compare?

The Dewars family built the Aberfeldy Distillery and began producing Whisky in 1898 and it has been a component of Dewars blends ever since. When Bacardi-Martini bought Aberfeldy in 1998 they shifted part of the focus to producing Single Malts. Today I review their 12 Year Single Malt offering. Can I pick the Dewars lineage, and on it’s own…how does it stack up?

The Scottish branch of my wife’s family are from the small Island of Jura. It’s less populated than adjacent Islay. It has one town. It has one Distillery. But what an interesting Distillery it is. Between arguments with the Laird of Jura, being stripped apart and rebuilt, it’s back up and running and making some truly fascinating drams. I review the Jura 12 Year Single Malt, and it’s quite something.
