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?

The Fire Oak offering from Glen Moray is the third I’d tried and it’s not as widely available anymore. I review this unusual offering from Glen Moray as well as how La Martiniquaise have accelerated the Glen Moray brand into the International Marketplace.
With John Chidgey.
Continuing my exploration of Glen Moray now with the 12 Year Single Malt offering, I also look into the history of Malting at Glen Moray, their introduction of more Peated offerings in recent years and to determine if the 12 Year is better than the Classic, and if so, how much so.
With John Chidgey.
This is the first Glen Moray I’ve ever tried and they have a reputation of being affordable, good quality Scotches. I dive into the history of the Distillery, it’s production and such, and try to determine if the push for affordability has sacrificed anything along the way.
With John Chidgey.
With more time and experience I revisit the Bushmills 16 Year Irish Single Malt to confirm whether or not it’s as good as I remember, though this time I’m rating it properly against the rating system introduced a few weeks after the first review was done. Does it still stack up?
With John Chidgey.
The last Lark in the trio is the Tasmanian Peated Single Malt and in addition to reviewing it I also look at how Lark introduced a post-malt smoking method out of necessity and also into how and where they source their Peat from the Tasmanian Highlands. Ultimately though, can you smell and taste the Peaty difference? Aussie peat…in my Whisky…how does it rate?
