If you like Aussie whisky I'd suggest lark distillery. Bill lark was the guy who got the laws changed in Tasmania to allow distillation. Also starward nova. They're in Port Melbourne, Victoria (5km from the whisky bar that I work at). It's a Victorian red wine cask that's pretty spectacular for the money. Then also Sullivan's cove from Tasmania again. Their French oak single cask is amazing. Their XO brandy just won world's best this year.
Hey Sam! I mentioned Bill Lark in the piece, as Killara is made by his daughter! And thanks for this, I'll try to somehow get my hands on those – they sound great. I'd recommend you trying them, especially the Killara if you can. So...
I need to try them all - I'm still a whiskey beginner- but thoroughly drinkable, with honeycomb, chocolate, and creaming soda notes? It has to be Starward first.
Yes, I have. We are blessed with number of tiny distilleries, that only sell locally. The best place to taste quite a few of them is in Bruny Island House of Whisky. They have, according to their website, 110 (yes, 110) just Tasmanian Single Malts on display. We have been there recently. My wife is impressed with their range of Gin, including Whey Gin from using whey from local cheese maker. Visit their site at www.tasmanianhouseofwhisky.com.au or just put into Google Bruny Island House of Whisky. You'll be amazed.

Yes, I think that's the one to go in with! Go get yourself a wee dram or two and let me know what you think!
