Episode 140: Ardbeg 10 Year Old Single Malt Whisky
26 November, 2025
Ardbeg’s 10 Year offering has long been considered the benchmark Islay peated Whisky and set the standard for both quality and value. It’s odd that I hadn’t tried this until today and given my recent interest in Peated Whisky, it’s one I’ve been looking forward to. I talk about the Ardbeg Committee, Dr Bill Lumsden and of course I review the Whisky…plus there’s a special note towards the end…

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…

Episode 123: Divergence Otago Pinot Barrel Single Malt Whisky
28 September, 2025
The final sample from the pack I grabbed when I was at the Distillery in July, is the Otago Pinot Barrel Whisky. Matured in ex-Red Wine Barrels from Maude Wines in Otago, I’m expecting something similar to the Starward Nova…but there’s only one way to find out.

Episode 122: Divergence Virgin Oak Single Malt Whisky
24 September, 2025
The second of the three sample pack I brought back with me is on the cards today. The Virgin Oak is matured for 7 years in European Oak casks…but is it balanced and lovely, or did they push it too far? Let’s find out…

Episode 121: Divergence Port Wood Single Malt Whisky Re-Review
21 September, 2025
Having returned to New Zealand for a Skiing Holiday with my oldest son in mid-July, I took the opportunity to visit the Divergence Distillery in Christchurch and do a tasting and a tour. It was awesome! I brought back a three pack of 200mL samples including my old favourite, the Port Wood that I reviewed in Episode 63. Does it still match up with my recollection? Let’s see…

Episode 120: AOB and Highwayman Diemens Rising 001 Blended Malt Whisky
17 September, 2025
AOB are located in Mullumbimby in Northern New South Wales, only 20k from Byron Bay, where the Highwayman Distillery is located. When AOB and Highwayman get together to create a Whisky, it’s worth paying attention. I’m thrilled to review their first collaboration, the Diemens Rising 001 to see what the joining of spirit made in the same still, on two different islands, in two different times can come together to create something truly special.
