Episode 156: Amber Lane Fire Single Malt Whisky
4 January, 2026
The final of the Alchemical Series is the Fire, so named in part due to its colour and also in part due to its being finished in an ex-Islay Peated Cask. Being a growing fan of strongly Peated Whiskies at the moment, how does a Peaty-Amber-Lane Whisky taste? Finally I wrap up my thoughts on the Alchemical Series and rank them.
With John Chidgey.

Episode 150: Amber Lane Silk Lane Single Malt Whisky
29 December, 2025
Now on to the second dram in the Core Range set of three from Amber Lane, this recently released offering is called the younger sibling of the acclaimed Silk Road, but at a more drinkable ABV the Silk Lane has been winning its own awards too. Does it stand up to the hype? Let’s find out…

Episode 149: Amber Lane Equinox Single Malt Whisky Re-review
28 December, 2025
Having heard so many more good things about the Australian Amber Lane Distillery, I got my hands on some of their New Make called ‘Pure Amber’ as well as a sample pack of their new Core Range, which included their original Equinox Single Malt. I’d already reviewed it way back but nearly one year later, it’s time to revisit it and re-review and see if it’s the same dram that I remember.

Episode 148: The Macallan 18 Year Sherry Oak 2017 vs 2024
24 December, 2025
Having just reviewed the 2024 release of the Macallan 18 Year Sherry Oak, I discovered what was left of my sample from many months ago of the 2017 release…so what’s a good Whisky-reviewer to do…? Why, side-by-side compare them of course…and pick a winner. This turned out very differently to what I’d expected…

Episode 147: The Macallan 18 Year Sherry Oak 2024 Single Malt Whisky
21 December, 2025
Many episodes ago I reviewed the 18 Year Sherry Oak but it was the 2017 release. When some very special people bought me a bottle of the 2024 release for my birthday, I was over the moon…that was many months ago and being slightly apprehensive about drinking it, it’s time to review the 2024 release to see if it’s the great Scotch that I remember…

Episode 146: 2025 Whisky Year in Review
17 December, 2025
Unlike my last year in review, this has genuinely been a full 12 months of Whisk(e)y tastings, reviews and learnings and I feel far better positioned to provide recommendations this time around. There’s some old favourites and some new discoveries to share! I pick my favourite recommendations for Easy-sipping, Sherried and Peated Whiskies that are reasonably priced…as well as throw in two of my absolute favourites of all time (so far). Strap yourself in…this is a good one!
