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?

Amrut are a moderate-sized Distillery located in Bangalore in the middle of India. Whilst they import their Peated Malt, they use a blend of that with local malted barley and the result…it quite something. I dive into this interesting Whisky and how Amrut are making waves in the Whisky World.

The Bushmills 10 Year is competitively priced and it’s only a dollar more than the Black Bush I’ve previously reviewed. Beyond reviewing the 10 Year, I also look into some more of Bushmills history, including when their licence was first granted through to their own Steamship and finally I compare the 10 Year with the Black Bush…if I could only buy one, which would I get?

Since this Corn Whisky is made in Australia, we can’t call it a Bourbon. It’s an Ausskey that’s taking on the global Corn Whisky market, or at least that’s what the Ned’s Distillery founders wanted to achieve. I look at the history of the Distillery, their bushranger mascot and ultimately I weigh up the ultimate question…is this as good as a Bourbon? Or perhaps, is it even better?

The Longbranch offering from Wild Turkey was the result of a collaboration with actor Matthew McConaughey who was their creative director at the time. It’s filtered through Mesquite Charcoal and aged for about 8 years…is that enough for it to stand out from the crowd?

The 23rd Street Distillery located on 23rd Street in Renmark, South Australia opened on the 23rd of September, 2016. Since then they’ve started making waves in the local industry and I grabbed a sample of their entry-level offering that they call a Hybrid Whisky. What the heck does that mean? It’s different that’s for sure…
