Episode 139: Ardbeg 5 Year Old 'Wee Beastie' Single Malt Whisky
23 November, 2025
The ‘Wee Beastie’ was initially released to the market in 2020 making it Ardbeg’s most recent mainline entry into their Core Range. Some look at it’s price point and smile, whilst others turn up their nose at being less than 10 years in age. The real question is…is it any good? Let’s see shall we?

Episode 128: Dunedin Double Wood 16 Year Old Single Blended Whisky
15 October, 2025
The Double Wood 16 Year Old comes from original Willowbank stocks and there are only a hundred or so bottles remaining. I grabbed myself a full sized bottle of this after I tried it in the tasting at the Cellar Door. Let me explain how this Whisky has a bizzare and amazing split personality.

Episode 126: Wilson's 21 Year Old Blended Whisky
8 October, 2025
Our journey through the New Zealand Whisky Collection continues with a 21 Year Old Blended Whisky bearing the original Wilson’s name and branding. Fully matured in its original cask from when Willowbank was operating, does its age statement do this spirit justice?

Episode 125: Cyril's 50th Anniversary Solera Blended Malt Whisky
5 October, 2025
This is first of several Whiskies I brought back from New Zealand, from the New Zealand Whisky Collection in Oamaru. Cyril Yates has been involved with the original Willowbank through to the modern NZ Whisky Collection Distillery at Speights, both in Dunedin. I dive into how Cyril has been the thread that ties the generations together and I also review his Solera Blended Malt…it’s unique and it’s just lovely.

Episode 124: Kaiapoi 18 Year Single Malt Whisky
1 October, 2025
On my skiing trip to New Zealand with my son I stopped in Christchurch at the Kaiapoi Distillery just North of the city. I tried several of their offerings but came home with a bottle of their 18 Year Single Malt. I love a good Sherry Bomb for sure, but is this a perfect execution of a Sherry Bomb, and how does it compare to others in the genre. Let’s find out…
