It's possible to like whisky, to boast more than a few bottles of it in your liquor cabinet, and to generally opt for it whenever you're kicking back with a drink in your hand — and to also have a few gaps in your spirit-loving knowledge. Maybe you've just always stuck to a couple of favourite brands. Perhaps you've been limited by budget. Or, you might've just been so overwhelmed by all the different varieties out there that you simply didn't know where to start.
Whichever category fits, The Gresham's Whisky Appreciation Month is here to help. Even if you just want an excuse to drink more top-notch whisky, it'll do that, too. Running as part of this year's Brisbane Good Food Month, this event is serving up different whisky and smallgoods menus between 5-7pm each Saturday between July 10–31.
A global lineup starts things off on July 10, which is when you can sip five different drops for $80. After that, the July 17 session will tour Scotland for $90 per person — and every whisky will be at least 14 years old. On July 24, your $140 ticket gets you a range of rare and aged American whiskies, while the $150-a-head July 31 session is all about independently bottled Scotch.
