Whisky Roll Of Honour

We believe whisky should be drunk, not hoarded, so we try and do our bit to aid that cause with the range of masterclasses in our tasting room each year.

In alphabetical order, these are the whiskies we’ve opened and drunk in The Oak Barrel cellar room during public tastings since 2017.

Does not include private events, launches or tastings that did not have tickets available to the public. (Besides, the way Brora and Port Ellen get treated at those events shouldn't be public knowledge.)

Please note, we got lazy in 2018 and didn't update the list regularly. Going back at the end of the year, we over-wrote some tasting sheets from earlier, so it's not quite complete (let us know if you remember something we don't). Also, we haven't put in cask samples and progress reports - but thanks to Heartwood, Archie Rose, Craft Works and more - they were delicious.

Also doesn't include any Sydney Whisky Fairs - this list would be way too long otherwise.
