Some whisky aficionados stick to one drop, others are keen to sample anything that is new and exciting.
If you are part of the second group then you may be interested in Barrel Lane, a new Australian-owned online subscription-based whisky club that aims to "bring only the finest small-batch, Australian craft whiskies to enthusiasts nationwide".
Co-founder Josh Robinson and the team sent me some Backwoods Single Malt Whisky from the Victorian country town of Yackandandah to try - along with a booklet packed with useful information and background about Backwoods Distilling Co. .
The whisky is absolutely delicious - complex but smooth. One of the best I've tasted in a while.
The team's idea is to give whisky lovers the chance to try small-batch releases from boutique distillers around the country, as well as some bigger names.
"From the smallest of places to heavy hitters, Barrel Lane scours the country for incredible and award-winning whisky that puts Aussie spirits on the map," their media release says.
"Championing Australian distillers and their craft, supporting local talent and celebrating their dedication to quality."
The club is the newest venture from the creators of the Garden Street Gin Club.
"Whisky has long held a special place in our hearts, and we're thrilled to share our passion with fellow Australians through Barrel Lane," says co-founder Josh Robinson.
