00:00Sydney Whiskey Month 2025 has gone down as the biggest yet.
00:04Over 1.3 million media impressions, 1,200 whiskey enthusiasts and a clean sweep of
00:11sold-out events across the board. For 30 glorious days we turned the Harbour City
00:15into the whiskey capital. Here's how it all unfolded.
00:20We kicked things off in style in the heritage surrounds of Grana.
00:25Head distiller Darren Peck and chief winemaker Madden Morris guided guests
00:29through three mystery cask samples, letting the crowd vote on Morris' first ever single-barrel release.
00:36Mid-month we cross to Melbourne's own Starwood. Founder David Vitale unveiled the boundary-pushing
00:43grape and malt spirit alongside Nova and 100 Proof favourites. Intimate flights and a run of new old
00:49fashions at the Ace Hotel kept the city buzzing long after last orders. Ireland met Darlinghurst
00:56for one night only. Chefs built a three-course menu laced with native ingredients, while top 25
01:02bartender Tom Opie matched each dish to a bespoke Bushmills single malt cocktail. The finale? A dram
01:09of the legendary 26-year-old single malt Irish whiskey. Pure liquid history. We wrapped the month
01:16Sherryside at Hickson House, exploring the Glendronach's new Masters Anthology. A six-whiskey flight,
01:2212-, 15-, and 18-year-old expressions, all paired with canapes and custom whiskey-inspired chocolates
01:30for a room full of lucky guests. And that's a wrap for Sydney Whiskey Month 2025. From casting a
01:37deciding vote on a one-of-a-kind Morris barrel, to sipping century-old Irish craft and pushing the
01:43boundaries of Aussie innovation, this year had it all. Until next May, cheers and see you at the bar.
