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

The Laphroaig Lore is also referred to as ‘The Cask Lore’ and is said to represent over 200 years of the company’s knowledge and traditions… Well that’s all very delightful and lovely, but is it any good? Let’s see…

I’d noticed the PX Cask in Travel Retail as I wandered through the Sydney International Airport a few months ago, but I didn’t pick one up because I was out of Duty Free Allowance. I was also hesitant because I’d never tried it before…that changes now! When I next go through a Travel Retail location, will I insta-buy one, or will I keep on walking?

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…
With John Chidgey.
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…
