Sydney Whisky Week is Back!
Sydney Whisky Week is back and it’s bigger, bolder, and boozier than ever before. From May 10 to May 20, 2023, we’re celebrating the elixir of life for a glorious 11 days of drams and deliciousness. Now, you may be thinking, “Hey, wait a minute, 11 days is longer than a week!” But let us tell you, confining this party to a measly 7-day stretch would be an absolute crime against the palate.
If this is the first you’ve heard of Sydney Whisky Week, it essentially turns the city into a whisky utopia, where the best bars in town join forces with the world’s finest distilleries to create unique and unforgettable whisky and food pairings. It’s like a match made in heaven, or in this case, mostly Scotland. Like us, we know you don’t want to miss out on the best experiences available, so we’ve compiled a list of the can’t-miss exclusive ticketed tasting events. Check them out below:
- May 10 – Coastal Stone Whisky (Just Sold Out)
- May 16 – Glenmorangie Delicious & Wonder Ful
- May 17 – Glen Moray Cask Explorer
- May 18 – Waterford Farm to Table Irish Whiskey Masterclass
- May 20 – The Whisky Show
As one of the best local events of the year, the Man of Many crew will be getting involved throughout the week, so come along, say hey and raise a glass to some of the world’s best whisky over 11 incredible days.

We Taste Tested Grill’ds Nacho Burger
To be completely and utterly honest, this burger looks delicious. However, we had the chance to actually get our hands and mouth around this bar boy recently and can share that it is without a doubt, a culinary experience you need to try before it disappears. We’re talking about Grill’ds new Nacho Luxe burger launched on Cinco de Mayo and is now a permanent fixture on the menu. So what is it?
We’re going to make you hungry so watch out. 100% Australian pasture-raised, grain-finished Wagyu beef, corn chips, and chipotle mayo. Combine that with the tangy flavours of green tomatillo and lime for a unique salsa twist, and the added texture of corn chips between the buns, and you have a Mexican-inspired treat of a burger. Looks epic, is epic. Get it now at Grill’d locations nationwide, and Relish members can save $5 until May 21.
