It's like a world wide, long format game of "Is it a Speyside?"

I was seriously tempted to make that my first question!

Roadrunner_668 · 16 Jan 2021 at 21:37

Ooh ooh I can answer this one ha ha

"No!"

Happy to reveal or give clues, just say. There's definitely another distillery in Hobart

Fair! It's tragic isn't it? Hopefully vaguely fun though. Better than watching the dire TV offering that's on this evening.

I think another clue may be needed, and if that doesn't do it well... Ha ha

or *a clue i suppose since you opted for the 5 bonus questions before ! ha ha

2012 was a big year and not just in London but over there too.

Is it Old Hobart Distillery (Overeem)?

ik9000 · 16 Jan 2021 at 23:28

Yes

That's the confusion then, it's not actually in Hobart!

Bourbon Cask?

Edit: Ah Sherry Cask

The price of these Aussie whiskies are eyewatering!

Roadrunner_668 · 16 Jan 2021 at 23:42

I did ask if it was sherry cask ha ha, and I was ignoring ones that werent in hobart even if they had hobart in the name. Nice dram !

Glad we got there in the end ! Now, who can guess the common as muck whiskey im drinking in 10 questions or less? ha ha

SFAIK it was in Hobart but then relocated. The sample I have is "overeem old Hobart sherry cask matured single malt 43%". It's really not bad but not for that price. Aussie liquor tariffs are quite high. Not sure what export duties do either. Glad I've tried it but not buying more at that price

Irish?

ik9000 · 16 Jan 2021 at 23:50

Blend?

Roadrunner_668 · 16 Jan 2021 at 23:51

1. Whyte and Mackay? - No
2. Irish? - No
3. Blend? Yes

ik9000 · 16 Jan 2021 at 23:53

Scottish?

Illgresi · 16 Jan 2021 at 23:54

Ahh I was reading too much into the fact you spelled it "whiskey". If it's a Scotch then you have been a very naughty boy!

Grouse?

Roadrunner_668 · 16 Jan 2021 at 23:55

1. Whyte and Mackay? - No
2. Irish? - No
3. Blend? Yes
4. Scottish? - Yes
5. Grouse? - Yes

Yes I put the e in and I shouldn't have, I will go and stand in the naughty corner ha ha

Too easy, should have said 5 questions ha ha
