Instagram post 17875665127873281 Mixing it up with mixed grain Australian whiskies. Possibly one of the most fascinating line-ups we’ve sat down with this year. Yes, it was a bit of an up-and-down experience, but with high-quality grains of all sorts grown in Australia, it's great to see our whiskies reflect that diversity. In this review, we’ve got whisky made from local wheat, barley, corn, rye, oats - even quinoa! From Western Australia to far north Queensland, and look out for the delicious Bourbon-style number from Tassie. Exciting stuff, link in bio for the full rundown.

Instagram post 18102688591171406 Whisky review: a rare look at two legendary Heartwood bottlings: Release the Beast and The Beast is Back. The Oz Whisky Review team have a fairly unique insight into the original ‘Beast’ - one of the more influential Australian whiskies of the last decade - and we’ve tried to capture some of that here.

Instagram post 18126070162125692 Whisky review: first release Furneaux single malts. A taste of the very limited bottlings from Furneaux Distillery on Flinders Island north of Tassie. Don't know if we've come across a more complicated way of making heavily peated whisky, but the results are pretty exciting. Definitely worth a look if smoky, maritime malts are your jam. And head over to our 'Distilleries' section for the full story behind this fascinating island whisky project. Link in bio for the review.

Instagram post 17886917449710952 What started as a one dollar payment for an historic flour mill has quickly matured into one of Australia's most popular whisky destinations. And while things are a bit tricky for this border town operation at the moment, @corowadistillingco have their sights set on becoming one of the country's leading whisky producers. From pioneering organic grain farming to licorice and chocolate making, the Druce family behind the distillery are an ambitious lot. Hit the link in our bio for the story behind their remarkable distillery on the Murray. 📷 Sue Davis Photography

Instagram post 17896543954597027 Aussie peat monsters – the smoke and the smell. Fan of the smoky stuff? We thought it was high time to bookend winter, so Julian White’s reviewing some of Australia’s biggest peated whiskies. From Hellyers Road’s Master Series, Limeburners Heavy Peat, to Black Gate and Fleurieu. And don’t forget Belgrove’s incredible peated rye whisky! Jules thinks we’re on the verge of something special here. Link in our bio for his thoughts.

Instagram post 17879086315808150 10 top Australian malt whiskies under $150. Think Australian whisky is too expensive? We're hearing you. We’re also not averse to a listicle when the situation calls for it. And considering how much annoyance and confusion there is about the price of some Australian whiskies, we thought we’d offer up some context and a few suggestions for malt whisky fans on a budget. Link in bio if you’re curious.

Instagram post 17888607385629370 Whisky review: rise of the independents – Highwayman, Dark Valley and Craft Works. Australian independent bottling has grown rapidly in recent years. Exclusive, limited, cask strength whiskies are the norm here (nothing reviewed in this batch is under 54% ABV!). We’re talking Highwayman batches 6, 7 and 8, Craft Works ‘Tokay Okay’ and the famed Blak Soul Beast, along with three massive Tassie single casks from Dark Valley. From the intricacies of the trade in Australia, to what the future’s got in store, it’s a fascinating side of the business and promises to get even more intriguing in coming years. Link in bio for the full chat.

The Remnant Whisky Company have just released their first bottling using whisky casks acquired from Nant Distillery's botched barrel scheme. ‘The Scoundrel’ (not holding back are they?!) was blended by Belgrove's Peter Bignell, and we chatted with the inimitable distiller about turning the Tasmanian industry’s darkest event into a silver lining for whisky fans.
