The final instalment of The Wizard Stories by that Master of the Quill Chris Greta.

Every distillery has a secret. Not a scary secret, but that thing that sets them apart, and there is a distillery up in the Adelaide Hills that has a doozy. Paul Shand. And I’ve just named him The Wizard of Drams because I get to do that sort of thing.…

Sounds good - a clip (in comments) shows our house and my bedroom. I had to walk past the distillery on the way to school every day - no wonder I ended up making whisky 😂

Introducing the 200th Anniversary Distillery Exclusive – a rare dual maturation in Manzanilla and Oloroso casks. A first for Old Pulteney.

Making whisky can be hard work: milling, mashing, brewing, wash runs, and of course lots of cleaning; but it all feels worthwhile when you do that final spirit run. To smell and taste the changes as the run progresses is a true privilege of the magic of uisge beatha. Where you take the middle cut, how fast you run the still and how you dilute are all additional variables that can give rise to different whisky styles. Here, at Tria Prima, we take conservative cuts and run our still very slowly to maximise reflux and tease out only the best congeners from our spirit run. Slainte Mhor!
