Tom’s tasting tips
700ml

Did you know that all bourbons are whiskey but not all
Absolut whiskeys are bourbon?
Vodka This is because whiskey can be made from any grain
700ml (Scotch whiskey must be majority barley) and aged in
any oak cask, whereas, bourbon has to be made from at
least 51 percent corn, filtered through charcoal and
matured in new charred American oak barrels.
This new oak is where the bourbon draws its depth of
colour from, as well as imparting rich vanilla and
I am amazed that in a world of increasing
mechanisation, time honoured aspects of making a
premium product are still in place. Makers Mark still hand
dip every bottle they produce in red wax to give their
iconic look. Jack Daniels still hand selects their barrels to
make their single barrel selection. And all distilleries have
no set time for maturing their bourbon in barrels instead
they go judging every barrel on its own merits to ensure
the end product delivers the colour, flavours and finish

caramel flavours and oak spice such cinnamon, and or
$ $ cloves from.
ea ea One of the biggest differences between whiskey and
bourbons is that people are more prepared to add their
favourite mixer to bourbon whether it be coke, dry or
soda water. Yet it still is consumed neat or with a few
drops of water.
While some bourbons may be labelled “bourbon”,
such as Cougar or Old no 15, others are labelled
according to their geographic location:
• Kentucky Bourbon – the larger category of
bourbons, as the name implies, a Kentucky
Singleton
Malt Bourbon is a bourbon produced in Kentucky. ie Jim
Master Beam, Maker’s Mark and Wild Turkey.
Scotch • Tennessee Whiskey – although legally a
700ml “straight bourbon authorized to be produced only
in the State of Tennessee”, many Tennessee
Whiskey brands disavow the “bourbon” label. By
Tanqueray far, the most well known Tennessee Whiskey
Gin brand is Jack Daniels.
700ml
Although bourbon sales have remained steady over
the years we have seen an emergence of new brands,
single barrel bottlings, premium or rare blends, and
different flavouring like cherry, honey and even chilli
Bourbons hit the market.

that their bourbon drinkers have come to expect.
1. Makers Mark $62.99
Both rich and full on the nose and palate. This bourbon
shows lots of spiced honey, citrus peels. There are nutty
tones laden with butterscotch and vanilla. Finishing
sweet with a lingering butterscotch and dry oak spice.
2. Cougar $42.99
The addition of rye to its mash makes for a fresher and
fruiter nose. Surprisingly sweeter on the palate but well
balanced with vanilla and prominent rye flavour.
Particularly enjoyable when mixed with dry ginger ale.
3. Gentleman Jack $64.99
Sweet, buttery, caramel corn nose. A smooth entry leads
to a sweetish, light-to medium-bodied palate with sweet
caramel and brown spice notes. Finishes cleanly with a
touch of sweet fruit and spice.
4. Old No 15 Bourbon $38.99
The nose is filled with vanilla, under ripe banana and
hints of toffee. It is fairly full bodied, with a creamy
texture and it shows plenty of cinnamon and roasted nut
flavours. Finish is long, spicy and peppery. This over
delivers for its price.

Cuckoo Over Cuckoo Callay

ANGELICA G. GARRETT
I have gone Cuckoo for Cuckoo Callay and you will too! If
you love cafes and beautiful looking food then you will
love checking this place out. I had seen their Instagram
account a week ago and fallen in love with every dish
they have ever posted and knew it had to be the next
place I reviewed. Beautifully crafted and designed you
will have no choice but question if you should stare at it
or eat it.
The venue in Surry Hills might be one of the best
places to sit and eat in Sydney. You have the view of
the Clock Hotel across from you, and on a good sunny
day, the warmth from the sun above you. From the
cheese, tomato relish, a poached egg, fried shallots on a
toasted croissant. The bacon was cooked to perfection,
and the mac and cheese was perfectly cheesy. The first
bite I took was crunchy from the toasted croissant, a bit
salty from the bacon, and chewy from the mac and
Meraki Tempus Two
cheese. I want it again! Prosecco Platinum
They have a new private dining room I had a sneak 750ml Series
peak of. It is a room that can seat up to 10 people if you 750ml
want to book it in advance. The natural light through the
windows made it look so nice and roomy. It would be the
perfect place to have a meet up for something light and
easy but still leaves room to impress.
If you don’t want to grab a bite to eat they have a little
window that you can go up to order coffee from with
$

ea

seats outside, you can see the street views and enjoy
all Surry Hills has to offer.
One thing I love from a café are all the fun little names
that people come up for their dishes. This café had
some of the cutest ones! You have names like I’m Just
Bananas Over You, which is just what it sounds. Banana
oat bread served with a raspberry ricotta and thyme
honey. Another name I loved from the menu was the “I
speak fluent french toast”. The dish is as cute as its
name. The French toast might be one of the prettiest
display of French toast I have ever seen. It is served
with caramelised white chocolate, vanilla fairy floss and
hazelnuts.
One of the dishes I tried was the “Return of the
MacDaddy”. Triple smoked bacon, with bacon mac and
chairs right by it to have a sit down while you wait for it. VARIETIES

THOMAS HAMILTON
Slashed Burger, as the name implies, are specialists in
pulled meat burgers. Being a pulled meat fan myself, I
knew that I had to give this place a go. Slashed Burger is
located down by the water in Woolloomooloo, a
picturesque location to enjoy a burger. I tried the
Crackling Pork burger, which is packed full of
ingredients. Despite the high number of ingredients
contained in my burger, all of them combined in a
perfect symphony of flavour. None of them were too
overpowering, and all were spot on in quantity to make
the taste buds dance. The aioli and melted cheese
combined with the pork crackling and apple relish really
created a uniquely beautiful taste. At just $10, this
burger presents spectacular value. As a side, I would
recommend trying the eggplant fries. These fries are made
in-store, and quite simply they taste amazing. So when
someone complains that fries are unhealthy, just send
them down to Slashed Burger. I mean if you order these it’s
still technically eggplant, right? The great mix of
ingredients on the burger and tasty eggplant
fries lead me to the verdict of 4 stars.
