Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
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?

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…

Unlike my last year in review, this has genuinely been a full 12 months of Whisk(e)y tastings, reviews and learnings and I feel far better positioned to provide recommendations this time around. There’s some old favourites and some new discoveries to share! I pick my favourite recommendations for Easy-sipping, Sherried and Peated Whiskies that are reasonably priced…as well as throw in two of my absolute favourites of all time (so far). Strap yourself in…this is a good one!

The Victoriana is a favourite of many Whisky enthusiasts so I just had to get my hands on a sample and give it a shot! I cover some more about the dark history of Glen Scotia and I also review the dram and contrast it with it’s 15 Year brother. Is it worth the extra money?
With John Chidgey.
My exploration of Campbeltown continues as I shift from Glengyle to Glen Scotia. This particular dram I tried at a Whisky Club evening and I subsequently grabbed a bottle when it was on special. Perhaps that’s spoiling the ending about how much I liked it…but let’s review this properly shall we?

On my trip to New Zealand in July this year, my son and I stayed near Christchurch and while there I stopped by at the lovely Whisky Galore store. They had so many I would have liked to have grabbed however this bottle caught my eye. I grabbed it, had some of it while I was there but couldn’t bring it home to Australia with me, so just brought back a sample. I’d tried and enjoyed the Batch 6 at a Whisky Club night last year…how does the Batch 11 compare?
