Living The Dram

Rickus & Hursty head back to their beloved Islay for an exploration of part of the Ardbeg core range.

Nestled on the the small, remote Scottish island of Islay, Islay has been declared by some as the greatest distillery on Earth. Rickus & Hursty explore some of the history of one of their favourite distilleries. They also discuss contemporary whisky experiments in the name of science, and discover the latest developments in the alcohol space race. So kick back and relax with a dram in hand, and explore a gem of a distillery and some of what makes them so good!

Rickus & Hursty celebrate Straya Day by keeping it local.

Whether you're at the cricket, smashing tinnies and BBQing with mates, lazing by the pool listening to Triple J's hottest 100 or celebrating in any other way you see fit; we hope you're doing it with a dram in hand (as it's worth two in the bush).

Rickus & Hursty fly south (metaphorically) for the summer to sample a few of Tasmania's finest, as well as discussing some distillery history and interesting aspects of our fledgling industry.
