Show Notes
Cape Byron Single Malt Whisky is undoubtedly one of the highest profile Australian whisky launches of 2022.
This is in no small part due to the involvement of an absolute legend of Scotch whisky, Jim McEwan, previously of the Bowmore, Bruichladdich and Ardnahoe distilleries on Islay.
Coming up, you’re going to hear how Jim connected with Australian Eddie Brook, who founded Cape Byron Distillery on his family’s farm in the Byron Bay hinterland in 2016.
You might have already come across the Brookie’s Byron Dry Gin that’s been on the market a few years now.
And you’re about to be hearing a lot more about its whiskies. Distilled by Eddie with oversight from Jim, the first batch was released in September, and the duo have big plans for their unique expression of Australian single malt.
