  • Fred Siggins on RTDs

    2 months ago | winecompanion.com.au | Fred Siggins

    Australia loves an RTD. From Jack & Cokes to Suntory 196, our appetite for tinnies of sugary booze is insatiable. In much of the rest of the world, these drinks simply don’t exist. You won’t find Johnny Walker & Cola cans in Scotland, or Jack (Daniels) & Coke in the USA.

As a young industry, it’s still very much finding its feet. But one thing defines our homegrown whisky more than any other: Australian wine casks. Nearly every success story of Australia’s modern whisky movement can be traced back to high-quality local wine casks.
