It's brandy that you'll be hearing the most about in this episode, as Holly tells us why her family chose a path that is currently less travelled in Australian distilling.
Brandy has an incredibly rich history in Australia but it has a little bit of an image problem, which funnily enough, is fairly similar to what gin was confronting little more than a decade ago.
