Whisky Reviews

After a long time between drinks, Ev Liong revisits the Hellyers Road whisky range.

Tasting our way through the ‘Tasmania Distillery’ era of Sullivans Cove, from the TD0001 distilled in 2004, through to the current core range and special releases.

A first look at Yack Creek, a quiet distillery near the town of Yackandandah producing micro batches of quality single malt.

A rare (and pricey) inspection of vintage Sullivans Cove bottlings. What did the early years of Sullivans taste like? And what to expect from whiskies distilled in the ‘HH’ era.

On tasting: The Aisling Distillery Series 1 (Tawny) and 2 (Apera) and Headlands Distilling Co. Apera Cask and Muscat Cask.

What started as the New World Projects in 2014 has evolved into one of Australia’s most successful whisky programs.

A first taste of Whipper Snapper Wheat Whiskey, a Taylor & Smith sherry cask malt, Lawrenny Ascension and a preview of Kinglake Distillery’s upcoming single malt.

Julian White looks at Overeem Whisky old and new, including the much talked-about Floc Shots and Man of Promise Reserve.

On tasting: Backwoods Batch 2, The Gospel Projects Tawny Cask, 5Nines Single Cask Pinot, Spirit Thief Shene French Oak Grenache, Spirit Thief Belgrove Coastal Peated

Tastes like progress: Launceston Distillery Bourbon Cask, Hobart Whisky The Signature, Chief’s Son The Tanist, 5Nines Vatted Lightly Peated.
