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…

Having heard so many more good things about the Australian Amber Lane Distillery, I got my hands on some of their New Make called ‘Pure Amber’ as well as a sample pack of their new Core Range, which included their original Equinox Single Malt. I’d already reviewed it way back but nearly one year later, it’s time to revisit it and re-review and see if it’s the same dram that I remember.

Having just reviewed the 2024 release of the Macallan 18 Year Sherry Oak, I discovered what was left of my sample from many months ago of the 2017 release…so what’s a good Whisky-reviewer to do…? Why, side-by-side compare them of course…and pick a winner. This turned out very differently to what I’d expected…

Many episodes ago I reviewed the 18 Year Sherry Oak but it was the 2017 release. When some very special people bought me a bottle of the 2024 release for my birthday, I was over the moon…that was many months ago and being slightly apprehensive about drinking it, it’s time to review the 2024 release to see if it’s the great Scotch that I remember…

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!

The Victoriana is a favourite of many Whisky enthusiasts so I just had to get my hands on a sample and give it a shot! I cover some more about the dark history of Glen Scotia and I also review the dram and contrast it with it’s 15 Year brother. Is it worth the extra money?
