Instagram post 17883372250651057 Blended malts – a new stage for Australian whisky? A number of Australian blended malt whiskies have been released in recent months. Fleurieu and Black Gate’s Country to Coast collaboration is a great example. And of course, Tim Duckett through @heartwoodtas is constantly bottling some crazy blended malt project. But most significantly, @larkdistillery have just announced the upcoming release of Symphony No. 1, a new blended malt whisky from three Tasmanian distilleries. So, is this the start of something? In our latest long read, we trace the history of Australian blended malts (it’s long), and talk to the current crop of movers and shakers to find out if this unique style of whisky might become a mainstay of the industry. Link in bio for the story.

Instagram post 17847121277214642 Overeem Whisky relaunches under family ownership. In February of this year, Oz Whisky Review broke the news that Jane and Mark Sawford had purchased Overeem Whisky from Lark Distilling Co, returning the brand to its founding family.

Instagram post 18106089682144770 The golden age – rum and brandy from Australia’s top whisky distillers. We couldn’t resist a midwinter detour, and here we’re tasting three brandies and three rums from some of Australia’s best whisky makers. Multi-spirit distilleries have pretty much been the norm in Australia for over 150 years. And while whisky is our focus at OWR, it’s hard to understand the Australian industry without paying homage to the other spirits that helped to build it. And anyhow, they taste freaking brilliant, as you’ll find out in our review! Link in bio. Any Aussie rums and brandies on your radar?

Instagram post 18147920428000467 Whisky review: Launceston Distillery - lift off for Tasmania’s elegant northern malt. Operating out of an old airport hangar, Launceston Distillery is a great addition to the Tassie whisky scene, with their fragrant and fruity single malts already highly sought-after. Here we’re reviewing the old and the new, from ‘The First Release' apera matured to the just-released peated expression. Link in our bio for a look at the full range, and head over to our ‘Distilleries’ section for the Launceston Distillery story.

Instagram post 18148768165045873 Whisky review: Black Gate single malt – the big whisky from a tiny town. It’s no secret that Black Gate is one of Australia's most beloved small-scale distilleries. Anyone who's visited Brian and Genise Hollingworth in Mendooran, five hours north west of Sydney, knows that the place represents the best of what whisky is about. Here we’ve taken a tour of seven Black Gate single malts, from the rum cask, the 007 and 008, a heavily peated behemoth, and the famous 5 and 620s bottlings (‘... one of my favourite Australian malt whiskies of the last decade’). Hit the link in our bio for the lowdown on one of Australia’s cult single malt whiskies.

Instagram post 17999134975290367 Whisky review: the evolution of Lark single malt whisky. Over the last six years, the Lark whisky story has been a complicated saga. It’s rapidly developed from a small-scale, privately-owned distillery and bar, into a larger, more complex business under corporate management. But in recent times, we’ve found the whisky side of the Lark equation has frequently been overlooked. So we’ve reviewed seven Lark whiskies bottled over the last eight years, including the current core range, independent bottlings and some rare gems, to give you a look at the progression of Australia’s most influential single malt whisky. Link in our bio for the full story.

Instagram post 17846509079162760 ‘What would whisky look like if it was made in Australia before Ireland and Scotland? What grasses and grains would it be made from? How would it taste?’ Sacha La Forgia's controversial native grain whiskies are looking to transform the Australian whisky environment. La Forgia’s project has utilised a variety of native grasses, attempting to create a ‘truly Australian whisky’. But it hasn’t all been plain sailing, with some questioning if the word ‘whisky’ can even by applied to these experimental releases. For the in-depth story behind this brave project, hit the link in our bio. And head over to our whisky review section for a rare tasting of the first three native grain projects.
