Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
Many episodes ago I reviewed the 18 Year Sherry Oak but it was the 2017 release. When some very special people bought me a bottle of the 2024 release for my birthday, I was over the moon…that was many months ago and being slightly apprehensive about drinking it, it’s time to review the 2024 release to see if it’s the great Scotch that I remember…

Way back in Episode 43 I reviewed Batch 006 of this exact Whisky…and I lamented the fact that I couldn’t buy a bottle of it in Australia. Dan Murphy’s website showed no stock of any Batch of it, anywhere in Australia so imagine my surprise when I was wandering through a Store I spotted a Batch 007 on the shelf! It was even cheaper than the website list price so I grabbed it…and today I’m going to review the 007 with 006 and see how it stacks up.

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?

The Oamaruvian Revolution is considered to be the truest expression of the New Zealand Whisky Collection’s new Dunedin distillery character. How well does it stack up against the more traditional offerings in the Collection? There’s only one way to find out…

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.

One of the first new Whiskies from the New Zealand Whisky Collections new Dunedin Distillery is the Double Cask Single Malt. Can this new offering make it’s own mark in their line-up? There’s only one way to know for sure…
