Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
Just South of the largest city in New Zealand, the Pōkeno Distillery has rapidly grown to become the largest Single Malt Distillery in New Zealand in a very short time. Hosting their own cooperage and employing a true Scot Cooper to lead the way they’ve established a name for themselves in less than a decade of operation. Their Origin Single Malt is one of their first releases, and it’s rather interesting.

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?
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.
