I've said this before, but the best whisky investment you can make is to share a bottle with friends or family...make some memories that will last forever and won't lose their value. Oh, and you won't have to worry about being arrested for selling whisky illegally.

Buying whole casks? Make sure you're getting a cask that's already been filled. Ask the #Aussies who invested in Nant Distillery's cask sales scheme several years ago only to find out later that the casks were never filled before the distillery went into receivership.

Big news in the Aussie brewing world. Great write-up here.

We’ve tried some well-aged malts before...but 80 Years Old? They don’t come much more special than that..

Read on for Martin’s tasting notes (and a whole lot more) on Gordon & MacPhail’s “Generations 80 Year Old from Glenlivet Distillery”, released today:

True Whisky Fans: E150 colouring is an abomination and dupes consumers into false assumptions about quality as the ignorant buy with their eyes.
Also True Whisky Fans: OMG look at that colour of that PX finish!!! Take my money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pic for the day: A blast from the past & a whisky event that remains unbeaten for wow factor. On 14/06/2007, the incredible Franz Scheurer, together with chef Chui Lee Luk, put together an extraordinary event that was billed as 'The Ultimate Ardbeg Dinner'. Cheers, Franz!

now THAT is quite a view to wake up to each day at work!

Due to the popularity of our Gin, we will produce a release annually based on the seasonal availability of an appropriate cask. All good. #tasmaniangin #tasmanianwhisky #australianwhisky #australiangin

I'll be spending the next week or so tasting some *proper* new Japanese whiskies from the likes of #Kanosuke , #Akkeshi , #Sakurao and #Mars ...but first, a few ramblings on the current state of the Japanese whisky scene:

Absolutely brilliant #Caroni tasting with Dave Broom and Luca Gargano tonight. Well worth the 2:20am finish and 120% customs bill! Amazing stories and rums.

Brilliant read by the matchless Max Alternative Reality Allen spreading the word on a story I broke at Oz Whisky Review last year. Humbled by the shout-out, cheers Max. Such an incredible collection of Aussie whisky and spirits history – and it’s still for up for grabs! afr.com/life-and-luxur…

Just a casual Sunday arvo dram… 😳

‘Damper fresh from the fire… bush tomatoes and burrito spice mix… roasted wattleseed, wheat biscuits and trail mix… petrichor… it’s like walking through bush.’
