Australia’s finest | From experimental bottlings to hyper-local whiskies, Australia’s distillers are celebrated far beyond its borders. Here are four to try today. Bold, pioneering and dynamic, Australia’s distillers are at the forefront of an increasingly diverse global whisky category. Some makers are doggedly pursuing flavour creation on their own terms, freely crafting whisky outside of the legal requirements of, say, single malt Scotch or bourbon. Others are taking a hyper-local approach, making their whiskies using grains grown on their doorstep and maturing in casks from nearby wineries. Whatever the philosophy, the spectrum of styles coming out of the country is remarkable. Not sure where to start exploring? These are the whiskies to give you a taste of Australia.
