A Melbourne dad who drinks whisky but has never been inside a distillery.
What it is
A one-hour small-group tour of a working distillery’s stills and barrel room in Research, VIC, tasting whisky at stages from new make spirit to finished dram.
Why we picked it
Tasting the raw spirit next to the finished whisky is the thing that makes maturation click, and almost no bar can show you that side by side. At $35 it is the cheapest way to give a real experience rather than an object.
