Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
Cheap Week continues and 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. The cheapest Scotch at Dan Murphy’s is the 1495 which turns out, is an own-brand. I dig into what that means, who Pinnacle Drinks are and realise that the 1495 has no real story behind it, no history and no…hmmm…quite possibly my harshest review to date.

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.

I try the entry level Jameson Original Irish Whiskey after finding a 200mL bottle on a throw out bin. Was it there for a reason? I begin to wonder, but let’s try it anyway. Also discuss the phenomenon of a Neck Pour and bottle headspace.

I look at The Classic Laddie, try my best Scottish accent and enjoy the higher ABV of this Dram. I also discuss what Dram actually means, as well as two and three finger pours.

Revisiting the 12yr Chivas Regal and comparing it with my beloved Chivas 18yr to see how it compares. I also go through Age Statements and the differences between Single Malts, Grains and all combinations of Blended Scotches.
