Whiskies Aged in Champagne Barrels?! | Tasting with Brisbane Whisky Scene

In this special collaboration, Mark Modra from Brisbane Whisky Scene joins me to explore a unique whisky experience from Champagne Dumangin. This independent bottler takes whiskies from around the globe—including the US, India, the Netherlands, and Scotland—and gives them a second life with champagne barrel finishing. The result? A fascinating range of flavours, but there's one intriguing note that kept appearing… Can you guess what it is? Plus, we attempt (and mostly fail) to pronounce the French names correctly—Australians tackling French, what could go wrong? Join us for this bubbly journey and let us know your thoughts on champagne-finished whiskies! I’m Nath Martyn, the Whisky Scribe, posting regular videos exploring the wonderful world of single malt and blended whiskies.
