24.01.2022 Mixing whisky can be a bizarrely divisive topic. But with another hot Australian summer on the way, how should consumers and producers approach Australian whisky in the warmer months? Stick to neat? Highballs and cocktails? And what's on the horizon for Aussie whiskies looking to mix it up with the big international brands? We round up the experts for some answers in our latest long read.
22.01.2022 From experimental one-off releases to the more mature projects now being enjoyed across the country and around the world. Starward’s project bottlings reveal how the Australian industry's most widely consumed malt has continued to evolve.
15.01.2022 The recently completed Whitton Malt House in NSW is inspiring a whole new vision for Australian whisky making. The state-of-the-art maltings, adventure park and hospitality space has set out to transform the way Australian distillers and brewers use grains and malts. If you're a whisky and beer fan, it's time for a road trip.
13.01.2022 A trio of new malts from Taylor and Smith Distilling Co, Lawrenny Distilling and Kinglake Distillery. And a taste of the new Wheat Whiskey from Perth's Whipper Snapper Distillery.
13.01.2022 First release malts from The Aisling Distillery and Headlands Distilling Co. Both distilleries use local barley, both mature their whiskies for similar periods, and all the whiskies reviewed here spent time in casks that previously held quality Aussie fortifieds. But the results are very different.
07.01.2022 A first look at Archie Rose's groundbreaking new distillery. This epic site, and the controversial patent that's been applied to its whisky making technique, has ignited one of the most heated arguments in Australian whisky for decades. Here we take you inside the distillery to get the lowdown on just how significant this operation might become for whisky and spirits production in Australia.
