The BenRiach distillery sits in the heart of Scotland’s Speyside region, just 5km south of the coastal town of Elgin.

As a rule, Australian craft gins are produced to a seriously high standard. That’s why it’s always a pleasure to find one that stands out from the crowd.

It’s refreshing, light, sparkling but packed full of flavour. It’s definitely a beer that suits the summer months, but it has…
I remember first having Cascade Pale Ale in my local pub and thinking it was the greatest beer I’d found in Australia. Well times have changed and the selection of Pales in the market has gone through the roof. I saw it the other day and thought it was about time I revisted those days…
