Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
The Milk & Honey Distillery in Israel has multiple warehouses for storing its Whisky casks during maturation and as part of the Apex series they explore different maturation locations to obtain vastly different flavour profiles from their offerings. In this particular offering, it spent a year next to the Dead Sea, and the effect it has on the Whisky is quite dramatic…dramatic good or bad? Let’s find out…

A small Distillery in Christchurch in New Zealand called The Spirits Workshop created a range of whiskies they call Divergence. Knowing that this was only available in New Zealand, when I was on holidays there in late 2024 I tried some at a Whisky tasting and bought myself a bottle. Let me explain…why…

When one of the family that owned the Lantenhammer Distillery set out to build his own and named it Slyrs, many in Germany weren’t paying too much attention. When they started producing world-class Whisky they quickly made a name for themselves. This offering was finished in ex-Pedro Ximénez Casks and the resulting Whisky is quite special.

The Kinglake Distillery is off-the-grid in rural Victoria and is surrounded by Australian Bushland. This Ausskey has an interesting mash bill, and is predominantly aged in American Oak but also some French Oak ex-Tawny Port barrels, which is unusual for Australian Whiskies and leads to quite an interesting and complex dram.

The disused Corowa Flour Mill was sold for a dollar, transformed into a small craft Distillery with no plans for much expansion, but when their First Drop sold out inside 24 hours their plans were changed. Situated on the banks of the mighty Murray River in New South Wales, the Mad Dog Morgan is matured in Muscat Barrels from the nearby Rutherglen Winery to create something, that’s pretty special.
