Young wood, just like young blood, can be too fiery and unhinged. If young oak is used in a barrel, it may overpower the whisky, making it too tannic and adversely affecting the flavour and the finish. Still, that it does have an impact demonstrates that, should the correct style of cask be used, then it might actually improve the whisky. This logic applies to the use of old sherry casks for the distillation of whisky. The use of casks is...

The importance of water in whisky is often overshadowed by the importance of whether it is single malt and its barrel selection. However, the influence of water in the development and final effect of a whisky is a crucial consideration. Just look at the fact that so many distilleries in Scotland are built on or near a water source within the property’s bounds. This crucial piece of information should not be left out of one’s mental whisky toolkit: that collection of...

Many whisky lovers will be familiar with Chivas Regal, a stalwart in the whisky space with a proud and interesting Scottish history, which adds some depth to their fine product. In the 1800s, brothers James and John Chivas worked in an emporium in Aberdeen, and as time progressed, began to experiment with ageing and blending whiskies, to meet a demand for a smoother, more rounded whisky. The experience from this initial process would feed into their later success in New York and...

Our Vault Menu at Heritage Lounge, one of the most esteemed cocktail bars and whisky bars in Parramatta and Sydney, narrows in on the finest single malt whiskies produced globally. Our preference for single malt falls in line with internationally accepted standards of excellence.

Class cannot be derived from objects. It is now bestowed upon a person wearing a fancy watch or driving a fast car. It is a way of being, a state of mind, expressed through actions. Pointing towards the bottle of Glenfiddich 50 Year Old whisky, sitting in moody light on the top shelf – that’s class. That’s making a deliberate decision to associate exclusively with the best in the business. It’s a statement that you are setting the Parramatta bar high;...

Sophistication and refinement over naivety. One of the biggest event trends at the moment is embodying a wealthy, modern and stylish event atmosphere.

The best event venue for you will differ according to the type of event you plan on hosting. After all, a child’s second birthday shouldn’t be hosted at a cocktail bar, and a corporate function shouldn’t be hosted at a child’s playhouse. At Heritage Lounge, we understand that choosing a function venue or party venue can be difficult. Not only do you want to impress your guests, but you want to set the scene for an enjoyable and memorable occasion. There...
