Earlier this year, Whisky & Wisdom published an article titled “Trouble brewing for the Australian whisky industry”. It was an extremely comprehensive and honest account of the challenges facing the Australian industry and raised a number of issues that continue to lurk beneath the surface. The article generated significant discussion amongst the whisky community and W&W received overwhelming responses and support from those within the industry. You can read the original article here.
Fast forward six months later, and the article triggered a fantastic discussion/interview with James Atkinson at Drinks Adventures. W&W recently sat down with Drinks Adventures for a frank discussion about what’s happening in the Australian whisky industry; the learning curve that distillers need to put themselves through; and the issues that consumers are now raising.
If you’re interested in Australian whisky and the Aussie whisky scene, it’s a fantastic podcast to listen to. The link to the Drinks Adventures episode is here.
