Listen "Old Kempton's The Old Stables NOT a Bourbon, but an An Australian Whisky from Tasmania"

Episode Synopsis

This one’s not a bourbon — but it’s made with bourbon barrels, so we’re letting it in. We pour a Tasmanian single malt from Old Kempton, batch four of The Old Stables, and explore why it impressed even the bourbon faithful.
We cover:


🥃 What makes Aussie whisky special — and how bourbon barrels help


🏆 This batch's award-winning claim at the World Whisky Awards


🛢️ The crossover between Aussie malts and ex-bourbon barrel ageing


🍇 Pinot and port barrel influence on the nose and finish


🍽️ How a fine dining dinner at Amaru led us to this pour


This isn’t bourbon. But if you're a bourbon drinker with an open mind — it might just belong on your shelf.
