Episode 169: Milk & Honey Apex Dead Sea Single Malt Whisky
13 February, 2026
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…

Episode 18: Chivas Regal Extra
26 January, 2025
Somewhere between 2014 and 2020 Chivas Regal started releasing the ‘Extra’ which is now no longer available in this bottling. Since then they’re released 13 Year age statement blends with multiple different finishes as well. I touch on Casks vs Barrels and Barrel Volume vs Surface area and how that impacts Whisky maturation and finally, I review the original Extra to see if it brings anything…extra…to their 12 Year Blended Scotch.

Episode 17: Loch Lomond 18 Year Single Malt
19 January, 2025
The final sample from the Loch Lomond pack comes out to play as I review the Loch Lomond 18 year. I also do a deep dive into Barrel Influence on maturing a Whisky relative to first fills, second fills and more, as well as how the ABV of the prior liquid impacts the wood over time and where the flavours from the Barrel are coming from. The 18 year…does NOT disappoint.

Episode 16: Loch Lomond 12 Year Single Malt
12 January, 2025
One down from my Loch Lomond sample pack, we move to the 12 Year. I also touch on Mit Farbstoff, and do a deep dive into why Oak is so popular for making Barrels, the different types, how it’s prepared, plantations of Oak trees and more. Oh, and I also review the Scotch!

Episode 15: Loch Lomond Original
5 January, 2025
Having picked up a sample pack of Loch Lomond a few months ago, it’s time to try them starting with the Original. I discuss Chill Filtering, what it is and why Distillers do it, as well as some background on the Loch Lomond Distillery.

Episode 14: 2024 Whisky In Review
29 December, 2024
It’s been quite the journey for me over the past year…okay really mostly the past six months but we’re going to do this anyway! I go over everything I’ve learned about my own palette and preferences covering types of Whisky I like through to glasses I use. Most importantly I list off my favourite Whiskies for under $100 AUD across the four types of Whisky I’ve sampled the most in 2024.
