Whiskies From a Land Down Under (WhiskyCast Episode 781: August 19, 2019)

This time around, we're in Australia as Tasmania's distillers
wrap up the third annual Tasmanian Whisky Week. It's been 27
years since the first legal still started producing Tasmanian
single malt whisky at the original Lark Distillery, and today,
there are nearly 50 distilleries in Australia's island state.
We'll meet some of them and tour the award-winning Sullivan's
Cove Distillery on WhiskyCast In-Depth, and we'll also talk to
some Australian whisky lovers on Your Voice. In the news, Heaven
Hill is expanding into Canadian Whisky with a $266 million deal
for Black Velvet and its distillery in Alberta, while Ireland's
Conor McGregor is likely to face assault charges for punching a
Dublin bar patron who didn't want to taste his Proper Twelve
whiskey.
