Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
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.
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?
With John Chidgey.
This Ausskey from Lark is best described as a mad-scientist experiment. In addition to reviewing the Chinotto Citrus Cask, once I figured out what Chinotto drinks are, I dive into the second half of my deep dive into the Modern History of Lark and I try to figure out if this science experiment was or was not, a success.
With John Chidgey.
The Lark Classic Cask is an Ausskey from the Lark Distillery core range. I grabbed this from a gift pack on clearance from last Christmas and so begins the first of three Lark’s I’ve reviewed since the Symphony No. 1. I also dive deep into the Modern History of Whisky in Australia and Larks role in it, as well as the casks they use and their curious choice of bottle. They say it’s a Classic…but is it really?
