S05-Ep.114 Southern Spirits Syndicate

from Banter Over Whisky Hosted by Banter Over Whisky

This week on Banter over Whisky, we’re joined by Simon from Southern Spirit Syndicate and Vic from Vic.Whiskey to talk about their very first Australian whisky barrel pick! 🔥 A 5-year-old, 58.2% ABV single malt from Corowa Distilling Co. A big, bold PX sherry cask whisky that brings plenty of flavour, a long finish and some serious Aussie whisky character. But this episode is about more than just the dram… 🇦🇺 We dive into the story behind Southern Spirit Syndicate, the years of planning, the hunt for the perfect barrel and the patience it took to bring this release to life. 🥃 What’s on the tasting table? • A 30-year-old PX sherry cask from Spain. • A big, rich, sherry-influenced Australian single malt. • 58.2% ABV, bottled at cask strength. • An oily texture, long finish and plenty of character. • A whisky that pairs beautifully with a cigar. We also chat about the Australian whisky industry, supporting local distilleries, future releases, and why Simon and Vic are passionate about keeping things Australian, small-batch and as natural as possible. And of course… plenty of banter, laughs and a few controversial whisky opinions along the way! 😂 Is this a winter whisky? Or would you mix it with a lemon and ginger kombucha? 🤔 You’ll have to listen to find out! 🎧 Tune in now and join us for another cracking episode of Banter over Whisky. 🥃 Cheers!
