The Godfather of Australian Whisky

There was no Australian Whisky industry to speak of in 1992 when
Bill Lark persuaded the government to give him a license to
distill whisky in Hobart, Tasmania. Today, Australian whiskies
are found around the world, and Bill Lark has become revered as
the "Godfather of Australian Whisky." While he's retired from
making whisky himself, he still works with distillers in Tasmania
and on the Australian mainland, and he'll join us on this week's
WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Kentucky Bourbon has lost one
of its leaders with the death Christmas night of Four Roses
veteran Al Young, and we'll remember his legacy on this week's
episode. We'll also have details on the fine levied against Beam
Suntory by Kentucky regulators for environmental damage from last
July's warehouse fire and a look at the top whisky stories of the
year on this final episode for 2019.
