Episode 146: 2025 Whisky Year in Review
17 December, 2025
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!

This Ausskey comes from South Australia, and despite a bumpy ownership early on, they’ve produced several very interesting Whiskies including this one…named after the Winery whose barrels it was matured in…the Penny’s Hill Winery. It snagged a Gold Medal at the Australian Distilled Spirits Awards, but does it live up that? Let’s see…

Episode 64: Waitui 8 Year Single Malt Whisky
4 May, 2025
At a Whisky Flight tasting in the Marlborough Region of New Zealand on the South Island, I asked for their best New Zealand Whisky they had, and was offered a sample of this. It’s a Whisky aged for 8 Years in ex-Honey Mead Casks from a small town in the North-West Corner of the South Island, and it…is…amazing.

Episode 63: Divergence Port Wood Single Malt Whisky
30 April, 2025
A small Distillery in Christchurch in New Zealand called The Spirits Workshop created a range of whiskies they call Divergence. Knowing that this was only available in New Zealand, when I was on holidays there in late 2024 I tried some at a Whisky tasting and bought myself a bottle. Let me explain…why…

Episode 62: Glen Grant 18 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky
27 April, 2025
This was the most expensive and oldest Whisky in the Advent Calendar I’ve been working my way through. I look into some of the history of the Glen Grant Distillery, it’s capacity and then try to decide if the most expensive and oldest offering in the Advent Calendar, was actually the best…or not.

Episode 61: Slyrs Pedro Ximénez Finish Single Malt Whisky
26 April, 2025
When one of the family that owned the Lantenhammer Distillery set out to build his own and named it Slyrs, many in Germany weren’t paying too much attention. When they started producing world-class Whisky they quickly made a name for themselves. This offering was finished in ex-Pedro Ximénez Casks and the resulting Whisky is quite special.
