  • If your not moving forwards you're going backwards.

    This episode we chat with Paul McLeay from the Australian Distillers Association, the peak industry body for Australian craft distillers.

    The association looks to promote the industry in all forms by strengthening the community through education and training both internal and external, along with being the advocates for improvements to standards and policies that have an impact on the industry.We really enjoyed this chat as it was in a lot of ways a real eye opener to the issues and challenges that are being faced by distillers day by day but also the opportunities the are out there for an industry that continues to work together.

    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.

  • What a pleasure to sit down and chat with Paul Burnett from 23rd Street Distillery.

    23rd street is not unknown to me but gee haven't they been flying under the radar.

    It was very refreshing to learn about the history and the achievements of this distillery with a massive range of products and what appears to be a focus on quality throughout the process.

    Naturally we were able to taste the whisky and were very impressed with what they have on offer. definitely jump on this if you get a chance!

    Keep an eye on the Instagram account for a giveaway coming soon!

  • And now for something completely different.. but kind of the same...

    a few weeks back the crew sat down with Deni Kay and chatted about Old Master Spirits.

    Deni is someone that has a lot of attention to detail and that comes out in his knowledge of spirits and what they are willing to put their brand to.

    We go on the journey with Deni and get the story on Old Master Spirits and all of this over a couple of very special drams.

  • What an Episode!

    We were lucky enough to get time with Larry Emdur from Australian TV fame and Dean Druce from Corowa Distilling Co. to talk to us about their current release to hit the shelves right across Australia, The Ben Buckler!

    This whisky is down to earth and humble at 40% ABV just like Larry and Dean.

    However it really has an amazing back story and complex tasting profile that brings you back for more over and over again. Again just like Larry and Dean.

    We got so much enjoyment out of listening to the guys with their story and are sure you will as well.

    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.

  • G'day everyone and welcome to another episode of Banter over Whisky. With some of the crew away working and holidaying we thought we should put out an episode “from the bag”. These are episodes that we do occasionally for this very reason. In this episode we talk about Rum and bourbon, and get some insights into some larger distilleries.
    Anyway 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.

  • G'day everyone and welcome to another episode of Banter over Whisky! We were lucky enough to sit down with Waiheke Whisky recently and get a run down on their story, their whisky and their plans. Mark Izzard is one of the founders and we really appreciated the opportunity to discuss the Distillery with him. He and his Partner Ro are deemed the dreamers of the venture, but they have already turned a lot into reality. Patrick Newton also joins us directly from the distillery, we suspect that he is still working although it’s already fairly late into the night. Patrick’s background is in wine and he definitely brings a pretty cool perspective to his role as head distiller and of course the conversation. We are also lucky enough to taste a range of the whisky supplied by Will Pitchforth who is working with Waiheke on distribution as well as other things.
    This episode was a real opportunity for us to learn an out Waiheke and we hope that you find it educational as well or at least entertaining as we had a lot of fun.

  • G'day everyone and welcome to another episode of Banter over Whisky!Following Brad's trip to Japan back in February we thought it only fitting to do a session where we discussed whisky from the land of the rising sun.

    Vic, Adrian and Brad taste three different whiskies and give us their notes and of course we discuss the distilleries they are from. and Naturally we talk about the distilleries that Brad visited while over there.

    This is a fairly quick one and will likely do this again as there is so much to talk about.

  • G'day everyone and welcome to another episode of Banter over Whisky!What can I say Carmen is an absolute gun when it comes to Whisk(e)y.

    As a Brand Ambassador for Brown Forman looking after American Whiskey it makes sense right? Well Carmen takes it to another level and is in fact a Master of Bourbon Candidate through the Council of Whisky Masters.

    Naturally we had to do a tasting of American whiskey and of course Adrian was kind enough to supply some drams that are impossible to get in Australia and in fact 2 of the three Carmen had not tried, which is no easy feat..

    This episode was a real opportunity for us to learn and I hope that you find it educational as well or at least entertaining as we had a lot of fun.

  • G'day everyone and welcome to another episode of Banter over Whisky!This episode is something special, and for two reasons..

    First and foremost we have a very special guest from Cape Byron Distillery, Eddie Brook who takes us on a journey with the story of the distillery and let me tell you there are some incredible plot twists.

    Secondly this is very special as we found a whisky that Vic was yet to taste.. yes that's right there is a whisky out there that Vic doesn't own or at least sampled... actually he has now so... thats a wrap.. (kidding)

    So yes we do sample a couple of Cape Byron's delicous whisky's and we can't wait for what's to come..

    Especially some drams including from the states and Japan.

  • G'day everyone and welcome to another episode of Banter over Whisky!

    As this episode is released Adrian is checking into a hotel in Dallas Texas in the USA. He is over in the land of the Brave for almost 6 weeks doing a tour, catching up with some long term friends and some listeners and of course Drinking some whisky.

    If you are keen watch his socials for where he is and where he is going next and drop him a message and I'm sure he would be super excited to catch up with you.

    He even has some goodies in the way of Australian whisky and some merch of course.

    So of course we discuss his trip and where he is going and what/who he is most excited to see.

    Naturally we also do a what's in your glass and review a few whiskies.Anyway 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.

  • G'day everyone, welcome to another Episode of Banter over Whisky.
    So this episode has been a long time coming, probably 54 episodes to be realistic, and our guest has been keen for it but the stars haven't aligned until now.
    we have none other than Tim Grant from Alba Wine and Spirits but famously also from Peated Perfection fame.
    Tim is a man who knows his whisky and if you don't know about it yet, he has a blog https://peatedperfection.blogspot.com/ where he shares his knowledge and of course opinion. a very interesting and informative read, we suggest you check it out.
    We have a bit of fun, touch on a couple of serious subjects and of course do a review of a few whiskies. Tim was kind enough to share some samples of Benromach a distillery that probably flies under the radar a little bit.

  • Welcome to Season 3!

    After Episode 50, We had a little break and re-gathered our thoughts.

    But we actually had a couple of Episodes in the bank (podcast code for misplaced) and this is one of them so sorry if there is any out of date info in there.

    we actually spent some time talking to John about his new role and finding out about the establishment that he works at now.

    it's a bit of an insight into his world and I think we all enjoyed the opportunity to just have a chat.

    hopefully you enjoy it but either way please let us know what you think and if you would like more of this content or even something else or a particular distillery or personality you would like to hear about.
