Aussie Bourbon Lovers ·

2026/04/09

Aussie Bourbon Lovers ·

2026/04/02

This episode starts with a long-awaited moment.We finally open a Peerless Double Oaked Bourbon, a bottle that’s been sitting on the shelf for a while, signed at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival and calling out to be opened. We talk through what makes Peerless different as a distillery, including their sweet mash process, barrel-proof approach, and double oaked finishing.

Triple Mash | A New Way to Think About Jack Daniel’s

Aussie Bourbon Lovers ·

2026/03/26

This episode is a bit of a reset for us.We’re drinking Jack Daniel’s Triple Mash, a blend of Tennessee whiskey, rye and American malt, and it opens up a conversation we probably should have had earlier. What exactly is a “triple mash”? How does it taste? And how does Tennessee whiskey actually differ from bourbon? We talk through the flavour, which is far more complex than expected, with notes of caramel, cinnamon, fruit and a surprising balance at 50% ABV. From there, it turns into something

Treasure Island Whiskey And The Stories Bottles Carry

Aussie Bourbon Lovers ·

2026/03/19

This episode is about a whiskey with a story that changed after we bought it.We’re drinking Treecraft Small Batch American Whiskey, picked up directly from a small distillery on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay. At the time, it stood out because it was local, unusual, beautifully packaged, and worth supporting. It wasn’t a favourite pour then, and it still feels a little young now, but the story behind it has become far more meaningful. Since that visit, Treecraft has shut down. That means this

Starting with 18 barrels, she explains how she evaluates them, separates them into flavor groups, and builds them back up into something balanced, expressive and true to the intended

Aussie Bourbon Lovers ·

2026/03/05

This episode is all about rethinking rye whiskey.We’re drinking WhistlePig 10 Year Small Batch Rye, a Vermont whiskey that helped change our minds about rye. WhistlePig started as a non-distilling producer, sourcing whiskey before eventually building its own distillery. Under the guidance of legendary Master Distiller Dave Pickerell, the brand became one of the most recognised names in American rye. The whiskey itself is surprisingly fruity and approachable. We’re picking up apricot, nectarine,

Denver Cramer is back, and we’re finishing a bottle the right way: on the mic, with a Michter’s Barrel Strength Rye (2016).We talk about the signature Michter’s profile and why it hits so consistently. Denver’s take is simple and convincing: barrels, careful temperature control during ageing, and that lower barrel entry proof mindset that prioritises flavour over efficiency. Then we get nerdy about glassware. Denver explains what the glass is doing by pushing off volatile alcohol so the flavours

This episode is a little different. We’re drinking Casey Jones Cinnamon Cut Whiskey, a pour that doesn’t pretend to be subtle and doesn’t try to be bourbon.The aroma hits instantly. Cinnamon scrolls, bakery air, full-bodied spice. If you love cinnamon, this one is impossible to ignore.

We’re kicking off the year with a bourbon that doesn’t come from Kentucky, and that’s exactly why we wanted to talk about it.This episode features Fray Ranch straight bourbon whiskey from Fallon, Nevada. A true farm-to-bottle operation where every grain is grown, malted, distilled, and bottled on site. That approach gives this bourbon a flavour profile that surprised us straight away, with bright fruit notes, a waxy mouthfeel, and a personality that feels genuinely different. From there, the

We brought Cadbury Caramello Koalas and Cadbury Furry Friends and asked them to pair each chocolate with Michter’s whiskeys. What followed was not polite answers or throwaway suggestions.

To close out the year we pour a Larrikin single barrel Delta 5 from Kentucky, signed by Greg, and use it as the starting point for a chat about our bourbon highlights from 2025.The idea was simple. Each of us had to choose a bourbon of the year and then pick a single bourbon memory that fits inside 120 seconds. In practice it was a lot harder, because 2025 has been full of ridiculous opportunities, generous hospitality and moments we never imagined we would have. If you have enjoyed following along
