The Bushmills 10 Year is competitively priced and it's only a dollar more than the Black Bush I've previously reviewed. Beyond reviewing the 10 Year, I also look into some more of Bushmills history, including when their licence was first granted through to their own Steamship and finally I compare the 10 Year with the Black Bush...if I could only buy one, which would I get?

Since this Corn Whisky is made in Australia, we can't call it a Bourbon. It's an Ausskey that's taking on the global Corn Whisky market, or at least that's what the Ned's Distillery founders wanted to achieve. I look at the history of the Distillery, their bushranger mascot and ultimately I weigh up the ultimate question...is this as good as a Bourbon? Or perhaps, is it even better?

The Longbranch offering from Wild Turkey was the result of a collaboration with actor Matthew McConaughey who was their creative director at the time. It's filtered through Mesquite Charcoal and aged for about 8 years...is that enough for it to stand out from the crowd?

The 23rd Street Distillery located on 23rd Street in Renmark, South Australia opened on the 23rd of September, 2016. Since then they've started making waves in the local industry and I grabbed a sample of their entry-level offering that they call a Hybrid Whisky. What the heck does that mean? It's different that's for sure...

Having watched many, many videos of people debating the pros and cons of the popular Whisky colouring agent E150A, I managed to snag myself a bottle to put myself to a blind taste test in two rounds. The first round with coloured tap water and the second with Glenmorangie 10 Year Single Malt with E150A added. Out of the six possible combinations...how many did I pick correctly? Let's settle this once and for all...can you actually taste this stuff in your Whisky?

My biggest head to head yet, I pit the mighty Macallan 18 Year Sherry Oak Single Malt against the Glendronach 18 Year Allardice Single Malt. I love them both dearly, but with the Macallan more than double the price, is it truly worth the extra money? This is one for the books and one I'll never forget.

This episode I do a side-by-side-by-side review of three incredible 15 Year Single Malt Scotches...the Tamdhu, the Glendronach and the GlenAllachie. This review is perhaps the toughest I've ever attempted since they are all so very, very close in terms of balance, palete, mouthfeel, nose and finish. It was extremely difficult to pick a winner, but pick one...I did. I also answered the bonus question...if you could only afford to buy two of them, which one wouldn't you buy? My conclusion may surprise you.

Today I pit the mighty Macallan 12 Year Sherry Oak against the upstart of sorts, the GlenAllachie 12 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky. In the short time they've been running, in relative Scotch terms of course, the GlenAllachie have made a name for themselves in making great, Sherried Whiskies. They don't colour or Chill-filter their Whiskies either and with Billy Walker taking over several years ago have been going from strength to strength. Is it enough to knock the Macallan 12 off it's perch? Let's find out...and brace yourself for this one.

With the benefit of many months of tasting experience and a broadened palate, I look again my first Scotch love...the Macallan 12 Year Sherry Oak. Is it as good as I remember? And now that I have a rating system...where does it actually sit, as I see it today?

Having got my hands on a sample of the famous Macallan 18 Year Sherry Oak to try (the 2017 release) I dive into and review this monumental Scotch Whisky. There's so much hype surrounding this dram...surely it can't possibly be that good? Well, perhaps it is...and if it is that amazing, will it get a 5 out of 5 and make me question my life choices? Let's find out...
