5 Affordable Whiskies (2025)
Whisky doesn’t need to cost a fortune. In this guide, I’ve rounded up five affordable whiskies for 2025 that deliver great flavour without breaking the bank. From reliable Scottish staples to new Australian releases, these drams prove you can sip quality on a budget.
Cape Byron Stone Beer Cask
A meeting of whisky and beer — Cape Byron Distillery’s Stone Beer Cask finish brings dark chocolate, roasted malt, and tropical fruit into perfect balance. Best enjoyed alongside the beer that helped create it.
Cape Byron Mac. Liqueur Cask
A world-first single malt aged in macadamia nut liqueur barrels, Cape Byron’s Mac. Liqueur Cask delivers creamy milk chocolate, orange marmalade, and toasted nuttiness in every sip.
Westernport Single Malt Whiskies – Batch 01
Westernport’s first release shows the confidence of a much older distillery — three cask styles, each balanced, complex, and bottled at just the right time. One to watch.
Cape Byron Viognier Cask
Cape Byron’s Viognier Cask brings buttery texture, tropical fruit, and a touch of white wine elegance to this limited-edition single malt. Just 1,150 bottles were released — and it’s a gem worth seeking out.
Morris Whisky Smoked Sherry Barrel
A bold twist on Morris’ popular Sherry Barrel, this limited-edition single malt adds a smoky layer from heavily charred oak. Discover how it balances rich citrus sherry notes with lingering campfire smoke — and why fans were thrilled when a second batch arrived in 2025.
Bourbon Vs Scotch
Bourbon or scotch? Learn the legal definitions, history, and flavour differences — plus how to choose a scotch you’ll enjoy if you’re a bourbon drinker.
The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve Vs Founder’s Reserve
Two entry-level Glenlivet single malts, two very different experiences. From the tropical rum-finished Caribbean Reserve to the creamy, classic Founder’s Reserve, here’s how they taste, how they compare, and how to best enjoy them.
Blended Whisky Vs Single Malt
The debate between blended whisky and single malt has raged for decades — fuelled as much by marketing as by flavour. In this guide, we cut through the myths, explore how each style is made, and reveal why both have their place in a whisky lover’s glass.
