Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
My exploration of Campbeltown continues as I shift from Glengyle to Glen Scotia. This particular dram I tried at a Whisky Club evening and I subsequently grabbed a bottle when it was on special. Perhaps that’s spoiling the ending about how much I liked it…but let’s review this properly shall we?
With John Chidgey.
The GlenGoyne Distillery motto is ‘Unhurried since 1833’ and we dig into the history of the Distillery and why they say that. The Chapter Three is the…I know…Third Chapter of special releases and we dive into what this one is in honour of and why…oh and review the Scotch too!

Having tried a LOT of Whiskies now, I return to my previously self-proclaimed ‘favourite’ Bourbon…the 101 Wild Turkey. I also look at how is compares now, today, against others I’ve tried including the Australian Corn Whisky, Neds Grand Reward. Will it still hold up as my favourite Bourbon…or has it lost it’s top spot?
With John Chidgey.
The sixth and final Cape Byron offering in this week of Byron culminates in a truly outstanding Single Cask offering…the Tawny Cask Single Malt. I also look at some of the requirements for becoming a B-Corp Certified company that Cape Byron worked very hard to achieve. In the end though, what can I say about this Whisky? I love a good Port finish, but is next-level yummy.

The Serendipity is Cape Byron’s Heavily Peated offering and whilst I debate what Heavily Peated really means in practical terms, I also touch on whether the principled arguement of Terroir makes sense if the Whisky tastes good or not. Oh, and I also review the Whisky!

The Cape Byron week continues today as I review their Stone Beer Cask offering. It’s a collaboration with the nearby Stone & Wood Distillery as they have a barrel-swap arrangement whereby Cape Byron Casks are used to mature a Stone Beer, then when they’re done, they give it back to Cape Byron to mature their whisky. The result is…well…pretty impressive!
