There's a little island off the North East tip of Tasmania call Flinders Island and that beautiful secluded island is home to an amazing Whisky Distillery called Furneaux Distillery.

This episode we get to Talk to Tom Ambroz who is part owner and Head distiller there.

It's an interesting story about how this all started and basically by chance how Tom got involved but it's a certainly a great discussion and even better whisky to sample.

David Vitale was kind enough to spend a fair chunk of time with us and record this episode.

We get an idea of how David has really considered everything he does and the logic behind his decision making.

Looking in it seems like Starward spend a lot of time outside the box, but at the end of the day everything is centred around his core principles for success, and make a lot of sense.

So the cat's out of the bag!! the podcast crew have put down some barrels a couple of years back and this is the first of a series of episodes where we go through the barrels and make a plan on what to do with them.

This Barrel is at Backwoods Distilling Co, and naturally we have Leigh Attwood from Backwoods with us on the panel.

We also have John Carberry from Murray River Cooperage as he re-coopered the Barrels for us.

And then because we have casks with Corowa as well we are also joined by Dean Druce.

We are super excited about this whisky and keen to share it with you all.

We like to check in with Whisky Pete every now and then because you just never know what he's up to.

but thankfully he is back doing his Whisky master classes and other events and a few other things he is working on.

We always have a good time when Pete is on and we are sure you will as well.If you get a chance we hope you can sit and listen with a dram in a comfortable chair, but of course you can listen almost anywhere, wherever you listen we trust you will enjoy the Banter over Whisky.

One of the hardest working people in the spirits industry Scott Christie joined us for a chat.

We got to learn about his whisky journey and his career that started in retail liquor back in 1998.

A number of Whiskey's were enjoyed and listening to the incredible experiences Scott has had you would be hard placed not to.

Welcome to Season 4!

we thought it best to start season 4 with an episode on 2024 in review.

We each go through our favorite dram of the year and our favorite whisky event or experience.

The ground rule being that the dram needs to be one that we have a bottle of, so not an incredibly old whisky we tried while at an old and rare event.

Was a really difficult decision in the end as we have had some amazing whiskies over the year and some of the experiences were incredible and unique.

I think everyone agrees that it's useful to look back at these experiences and be inspired for what we can make happen in the next year.

If you get a chance we hope you can sit and listen with a dram in a comfortable chair, but of course you can listen almost anywhere, wherever you listen we trust you will enjoy the Banter over Whisky.

When we tasted this one we knew we had to get an episode out on it as this whisky is so bloody good.

Eddie Joins us to talk through it and wow such an amazing whisky with Christmas vibes going on we completely recommend getting on and grabbing one as soon as you can. still available online at https://capebyrondistillery.com/collections/cape-byron-whisky/products/cape-byron-single-cask-series-tawny-cask-whisky

What is better than Christmas Drams with some banter thrown in?

We had an opportunity to go through the Barrel and Batch Whisky Advent calendar and were lucky enough to be Joined by Ray Daniel, John Jarvis and Christina (Johns Landlord).

There's a couple of insights a few whiskies and a lot of laughs.

We hope you all have an amazing Christmas and look forward to catching up with you in 2025 with Season 4.

Simon McGoram has been in and around the industry for some time, with an amazing career of various roles. Basically if he hasn't done it, it's not worth doing.

We had a lot of fun chatting with Simon on his background and of course what he is doing now with Atom Brands. Let's be fair they are smashing it!!

Naturally we taste a few whiskies and other spirits from Atom Brands.

We think you would find this episode very interesting or at least entertaining We certainly did.
