Episode 130: Oamaruvian Double Wood Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky
22 October, 2025
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?
With John Chidgey.

Episode 89: 1495 Blended Scotch Whisky
23 June, 2025
Cheap Week continues and with a strict budget of $50 or less for a 700mL Bottle in the Australian Market, I set out to prove whether it’s possible to find a good Scotch you can drink neat and enjoy…or whether you’re wasting your time. The cheapest Scotch at Dan Murphy’s is the 1495 which turns out, is an own-brand. I dig into what that means, who Pinnacle Drinks are and realise that the 1495 has no real story behind it, no history and no…hmmm…quite possibly my harshest review to date.

Welcome to Cheap Week! With a strict budget of $50 or less for a 700mL Bottle in the Australian Market, I set out to prove whether it’s possible to find a good Scotch you can drink neat and enjoy…or whether you’re wasting your time. I start with one of the brands I’ve been really enjoying…Loch Lomond and their Reserve Single Blend Scotch. I also complain about the SWA regulations that don’t allow them to call it that, even though that’s exactly what it is.

Episode 87: Ned's Corn Whisky
18 June, 2025
Having reviewed the Ned’s Grand Reward in the Advent Calender from 2024, today I review their entry-level offering…an Australian Corn Whisky they simply call ‘Ned.’ Since it’s made in Australia it can’t be called a Bourbon but as an Ausskey, how does it stack up against the big names from the USA?

Having reviewed all of the Whiskies in the 2024 Global Whisky Advent Calendar from Liquor Loot, it’s time to highlight my favourite five Whiskies from the calendar, and to provide an assessment in summary…was it worth it?

Only the second Glendalough Irish Whisky I’ve tried, today I review their Double Barrel offering. It’s cheaper than my other favourite Glendalough, the Pot Still, but this one is a Single Grain. How does it compare?
