Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
Just South of the largest city in New Zealand, the Pōkeno Distillery has rapidly grown to become the largest Single Malt Distillery in New Zealand in a very short time. Hosting their own cooperage and employing a true Scot Cooper to lead the way they’ve established a name for themselves in less than a decade of operation. Their Origin Single Malt is one of their first releases, and it’s rather interesting.

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.

The Tomintoul Distillery on the Glenlivet Estate tout themselves as being The Gentle Dram. I test this statement and also cover some of the history behind The Glenlivet Estate and its various distilleries over the decades.

The relatively new Glendalough Irish Distillery has produced a series of interesting Whiskies, including their Pot Still release. Will the surprising sweetness win me over and make me smile? Let’s dive in and check it out.

I try a lightly Peated Japanese Whisky that was the first Japanese Whisky I’d tried at the time. Despite my misgivings about Peated Whisky, I give it a good go and the score might just surprise you.

I try the famous Glenfiddich 12 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky, talk a little about the distillery and I also walk through my Whisky rating system.
