Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
The last of the Amber Lane Core Range is the Liquid Amber, and being partly matured in ex-Pedro Ximénez casks it might just be the kinds of Sherry bomb that I have a soft-spot for…but how well can it compete with similarly matured Scotches? I don’t want to spoil the ending, but this dram…actually blew my mind.

I first tried this on the first Whisky Club Peat Night I ever attended. I was pretty impressed and finally got around to finding a sample for me to review it properly. Whilst it’s getting harder to find at the moment in the Australian market recently…if I could track one down, would it be worth the trouble? Let’s see…

The Laphroaig 10 Year is the most easily accessible Laphroaig in my local area if I’m looking for a strong Peated Whisky, so I had actually tried this twice in the past but when I was out and about. At long last I got my own sample to try and review in my safe space…is it as good as I remember? There’s only one way to know…

The ‘Select’ is Laphroaigs entry level Whisky and whilst it can be found out and about, I’d yet to try it! That changes now. Does this Laphroiag still pack a peaty-punch, or is it’s 40% ABV just a bit too low to deliver the flavour and mouthfeel I’ve come to associate with Laphroaigs? Let’s find out…

I first tried this Dram at the first ever Whisky Club night I ever attended and that was a year ago. It was my second favourite Whisky of the evening and when I saw an amazing price for a bottle, I grabbed one. It remains the only Japanese Whisky I’ve ever bought…let me review it and I’ll explain why.

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.
