Out of thousands of whiskies, I picked just 5 from five countries to find out whether world wh**ky can stand up to some of the best scotch whiskies.

i did this over five different tastings for around 250 people, on the Wellington harbour in collaboration with

what was really interesting is that people had so many different favourites, some liked the rich sweet aussie wh**ky from **ky , some the traditional scotch from , others the fruity and others the exciting ringbearer from **ky and some the lightly peated wh**ky from Japan.

and big thanks to .visualstory for capturing all the footage and the photos!

the next one with is shaping up for early december and i can't wait to do it again. if you'd like me to host a tasting privately or with your bar, restaurant or business here in new zealand or anywhere in the world get in touch.

nothing beats sharing a great dram with people in real life where we can explore, share and enjoy. **ky

How do you actually pronounce Islay?

I’ve been talking about Scotch wh**ky from the other side of the world for years. Then a Glaswegian sat me down and fixed one of the basics.

Roy Duff from teaches this Kiwi how to say the island behind Ardbeg, Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Kilchoman and a heap of other favourites.

Send this to the mate who still says “Izz-Lee’”!

Be honest, were you saying it properly, or confidently wrong like me?

The full interview with Roy is on YouTube.

Three of our five World Wh**ky tasting cruises with East By West Ferries have already sold out, so we’ve added one final late session, and that’s the last one.

Summary: 90 minutes out on Wellington Harbour, five of my fav whiskies from around the world, nibbles, and I’ll walk you through every dram. You don’t need to know a thing about wh**ky. You turn up curious, try five completely different styles, and leave actually knowing what you like.

And no, it’s not the cold, rough, seasick ride you might be picturing. You’re inside, warm, at a table, tucked into the sheltered harbour the whole time. If the weather’s no good, East By West refund you in full.

Only two sessions left:
Fri 7 Aug, 8.15pm
Sun 9 Aug, 3pm
$99 per person
