Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
Laphroaig are a very polarising distillery. They say you’ll either fall in love with their Scotches, or you’ll hate them with a passion. At a Whisky Club night I tried the 10 Year Cask Strength for the first time and I was blown away. I dig into the history of the distillery, their unusual pairing of wash and spirit stills, and finally I review the 10 Year Cask Strength.

Another Ausskey with the distillery named after the founders family names’ Gaelic translation, I cover the history of the Distillery, and how the Forge offering is made. Will this be a hail to the Chief kinda Whisky? Let’s find out…

Amrut are a moderate-sized Distillery located in Bangalore in the middle of India. Whilst they import their Peated Malt, they use a blend of that with local malted barley and the result…it quite something. I dive into this interesting Whisky and how Amrut are making waves in the Whisky World.

The Bushmills 10 Year is competitively priced and it’s only a dollar more than the Black Bush I’ve previously reviewed. Beyond reviewing the 10 Year, I also look into some more of Bushmills history, including when their licence was first granted through to their own Steamship and finally I compare the 10 Year with the Black Bush…if I could only buy one, which would I get?

Since this Corn Whisky is made in Australia, we can’t call it a Bourbon. It’s an Ausskey that’s taking on the global Corn Whisky market, or at least that’s what the Ned’s Distillery founders wanted to achieve. I look at the history of the Distillery, their bushranger mascot and ultimately I weigh up the ultimate question…is this as good as a Bourbon? Or perhaps, is it even better?

The Longbranch offering from Wild Turkey was the result of a collaboration with actor Matthew McConaughey who was their creative director at the time. It’s filtered through Mesquite Charcoal and aged for about 8 years…is that enough for it to stand out from the crowd?
