Episode 163: Dailuaine 16 Year Single Malt Whisky
28 January, 2026
Having been a workhorse distillery for Diageo for many years, when Dailuaine released a Single Malt to the market as part of the Diageo Flora and Fauna series, many saw it as an opportunity for the Distillery to shine. When my manager at work nabbed a bottle for a great deal, he was kind enough to share, and now for me to also review. Mainly used for blending, does their Single Malt stack up?

Episode 152: Amber Lane Water Single Malt Whisky
31 December, 2025
The Alchemical Series was released by Amber Lane in October 2024 with five offerings, each named after an element of ancient Science. Each has a different twist on cask finishing and fast or slow proofing and the results vary considerably. We start this off with the Water and see for ourselves how slow-proofing has impacted this dram. It’s not what you’d expect…

Episode 151: Amber Lane Liquid Amber Single Malt Whisky
30 December, 2025
The last of the Amber Lane Core Range is the Liquid Amber, and being partly matured in ex-Pedro Ximénez casks it might just be the kinds of Sherry bomb that I have a soft-spot for…but how well can it compete with similarly matured Scotches? I don’t want to spoil the ending, but this dram…actually blew my mind.

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…
