Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
Having just reviewed the 10 Year, I tackle the Cask Strength 12 Year offering from Springbank and also discuss the unusual three-still system they use at Springbank and how it differs for their Longrow and Hazelburn offerings. There’s no denying that this particular offering, was not what I expected…in a good way…

With more time and experience I revisit the Bushmills 16 Year Irish Single Malt to confirm whether or not it’s as good as I remember, though this time I’m rating it properly against the rating system introduced a few weeks after the first review was done. Does it still stack up?
With John Chidgey.
The last Lark in the trio is the Tasmanian Peated Single Malt and in addition to reviewing it I also look at how Lark introduced a post-malt smoking method out of necessity and also into how and where they source their Peat from the Tasmanian Highlands. Ultimately though, can you smell and taste the Peaty difference? Aussie peat…in my Whisky…how does it rate?
With John Chidgey.
This Ausskey from Lark is best described as a mad-scientist experiment. In addition to reviewing the Chinotto Citrus Cask, once I figured out what Chinotto drinks are, I dive into the second half of my deep dive into the Modern History of Lark and I try to figure out if this science experiment was or was not, a success.

The Lark Classic Cask is an Ausskey from the Lark Distillery core range. I grabbed this from a gift pack on clearance from last Christmas and so begins the first of three Lark’s I’ve reviewed since the Symphony No. 1. I also dive deep into the Modern History of Whisky in Australia and Larks role in it, as well as the casks they use and their curious choice of bottle. They say it’s a Classic…but is it really?
With John Chidgey.
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…
