If you spent your life in advertising, you probably know about this ad. I remember reading it back in design school somewhere back in the early 80’s. It inspired me and, really, has been the driving philosophy for everything I’ve done since. So I got to thinking that...
I've had 5 gallons of unaged Texas Rye Whiskey in the bottles for several years. I finally got a beautiful oak cask from The Barrel Mill to start maturing the whiskey in charred oak. Five gallons will age rather quickly so I'll be doing a tasting every month to see...
William McHenry went out of his way, and everyone else's way, to build McHenry Distillery at the end of a dirt road outside Port Arthur, Tasmania. It's pretty far off the beaten track and right next to a national forest. Blink, and you miss it. It's between two small...
Peter and Matt Bowyer are doing amazing things with whisky in a small village in the Borders Region of Scotland in a village called Duns. Most big distilleries will crank out massive amounts of whisky, throw it in a used American Bourbon cask and forget about it for a...
I was somewhere in the middle of a three-month motorcycle ride when I met him. I'd been living on a BMW GSA 1200 and had traveled from Austin, Texas, to the West Coast, all through Northern California, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah, and was heading east in Wyoming...

While I was staying in the cabin at the top of McHenry Distillery in Port Arthur, Tasmania, a Helicopter landed nearby to take tourists on a flight over Mt. Arthur and the surrounding bays. I was there to offer the passengers a taste of great McHenry Whisky because it...
Vivid Sydney was happening while I was there. The whole city gets turned into a spectacular laser show and thousands are out on the streets oohing and ahhing, just like I was. https://youtu.be/yp3BAExvxqw
I've got a mountain of video to edit from my time in Australia, and I spent a day building this piece of a whisky dinner at the Port Arthur Historic Site. The evening was built around the whiskies and gins from McHenry Distillery right there at Port Arthur. The dinner...
Lee Etherington is doing something rather miraculous. He's got a farm outside Sydney, Australia, and he grows all sorts of Australian botanicals as well as finger limes. If you've never seen a finger lime, they look like chilis or little pickles, but break one open...
The great thing about Australian whiskies and gins is the fact that they're unique and delicious. The not-so-great thing is that if you live in the USA, you might have a very difficult time ever finding out. Shipping Australian spirits to the US market is a rather...
