Two big announcements this week: Next week’s Batch Up is a 2024 standout. Make sure you join us at 8pm Wednesday 27 November on Facebook as we taste our way through a massive Buffalo Trace release:

And Octomore 15 Series is available now on Barrel & Batch! The 15 Series is Octomore doing what it does best — pushing limits while showing you the softer, nuanced side of peat. Whether you’re in it for the straight-shooting backbone of the .1, the woodsy elegance of the .2, or the terroir-packed punch of the .3, there’s no wrong answer here. Just big flavours, bold smoke, and one heck of a journey for your palate.

Introducing The Macallan: A Night On Earth In Jerez
This limited-edition beauty, the latest release from "A Night On Earth" series, is a love letter to the heart and soul of Jerez. Jerez is the birthplace of sherry, and the city that celebrates “Nochevieja”—New Year’s Eve in all its vibrant, time-honoured glory. Created in collaboration with the talented Jerez-born artist María Melero, it’s as much about the whisky as it is about the tradition and culture that shaped it. The whisky itself? A lush, rich treat crafted in the finest sherry-seasoned oak casks.
The nose evokes honey and raisins, cinnamon and citrus, with an oak undertone. The palate delivers the velvety smoothness Macallan is famous for, but with a sherry dominance - vanilla, oak and spices are all perfectly balanced. And the finish? Lengthy and lingering.
Presented in a stunning collector's gift box, that's visually as rich as the whisky. Brought to you by The Macallan and Barrel & Batch.

Buffalo Trace Distillery, the most awarded distillery in the world, is a legend among bourbon lovers. It’s the busiest bottle shop in Kentucky, where fans flock daily for allocations, only to be put on a waiting list for another month. Here in Australia, we’re fortunate to have a steady supply, as the flagship Buffalo Trace bottle is hard to find even in the distillery’s hometown. Every October, BTD releases their highly sought-after Antique Collection, and six months later, we see them trickle onto our shelves. The dream is to find the whole family: George T. Stagg, Sazerac 18, William Larue Weller, Eagle Rare 17, and Thomas H. Handy.
We have the complete set for 2023, and instead of deciding how to price it, we’re giving it away: the entire 2023 Buffalo Trace Antique Collection! How do you win this set? Simply purchase any Buffalo Trace Distillery product during July to receive an entry into our draw. Stay tuned for extra chances to enter — we’ll have plenty of opportunities!

Here for a story, huh? Well, can’t disappoint a customer.
When the world went into lockdown, hospitality was struggling. The future was uncertain. Hairydog knew venues were in trouble and wanted to help.
It started with a buyback program with Paramount Liquor - buying unsellable stock from their customers via credits and refunds to put cash flow back into the hands of businesses hit hard. It became a network of suppliers and venues supporting each other, and looking to pivot.
We looked at the online alcohol market, saw people drinking at home instead of pubs and bars, and we thought, “There’s something missing here.” Sure, people missed the booze of a night out - but what they really missed was the experience. Asking the bartender for their recommendation, trying new things, enjoying professionally made cocktails, or the house special of their favourite venue.
So Hairydog became more than booze. We’re chummy with the best in the industry - sommeliers and mixologists and craft beer nerds, specialists in every spirit, and even masters of the perfect mocktail. We’re looking to a future where we can connect these pros with an audience, and be the only online liquor platform that brings the bartender to YOUR kitchen bench.
We’re fresh-faced and full of big ideas. Always evolving with a different spin, always exploring, always discovering, always learning, and always on the hunt for cool new things to try.
And we guess that’s why you’re here, too. So have a look around and welcome to the den!
