Episode 130: Oamaruvian Double Wood Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky
22 October, 2025
The final sample I grabbed from the New Zealand Whisky Collection’s Cellar door in July this year is also the strongest. It’s a strong and bold presence in this Whisky, but of all the ones I’ve reviewed, is it actually the best?

Episode 119: AOB Reality Is Not What It Seems Single Malt Whisky
14 September, 2025
AOB have two Whiskies available on their website and this offering is finished in ex-Peated Casks sourced from the Highwayman Distillery. I go into more detail about AOB themselves, their still and review this offering to determine if it’s the next step up from the Walking Along The Shore…just how big a step up that is.

Episode 118: AOB Walking Along The Shore Single Malt Whisky
10 September, 2025
In episode 40 I reviewed the AOB Pinot Noir Cask, as part of my Liqour Loot subscription that I had at that time. I couldn’t find a bottle for sale anywhere other than Liqour Loot themselves, but they were out of stock. Upon coming upon the episode, Pete Jaffe from AOB reached out and said…we have bottles of this…it’s actually called Walking Along The Shore, and would I like one? With a bottle now in hand, I re-review this offering. Is it as good as I remember? Or is it even better? Not only that, I go in-depth with economies of scale and how I’m now going to rank Craft Distilleries differently on cost. Let me explain how and why…

Episode 117: GlenDronach Ode To The Embers Single Malt Scotch Whisky
7 September, 2025
With the Odes to the Valley and the Dark now reviewed, the final release in the series, the Ode to the Embers, harkens back to the days when GlenDronach peated their malts. For me, it’s the first modern Peated GlenDronach I’ve ever tried. It’s also the most expensive, but is it actually the best one of the series? Or did we peak with the Dark?

Having just bought the Ode’s without trying them, I was relieved when the Valley was quite alright. The second most expensive and the hottest offering, their Ode to the Dark, is the next on my list to try. Maturation in Pedro Ximénez Sherry Casks certainly sounds like my kind of Whisky…there’s only one way to know…

I’ve become a bit of a GlenDronach fanboy…so when they released a set of three as a special release, I just bought them all without trying them first. I know, I know, I broke my own rule. They call them the Ode’s and this one is their Ode to the Valley. Did I make a mistake buying them without trying them first? Let’s start with their Ode to the Valley…and find out…
