404 - Polish Those Bay To Birdwood Cars And Polish Off That Australian Whisky With A Dash Of Blues

Welcome to episode 404 of The Adelaide Show, and today we’re celebrating craft, both in whisky and in cars, with a touch of blues to finish off.

Our main guest today is Paul Burnett, distiller at 23rd Street Distillery in Renmark. Paul has taken the reins at this iconic South Australian distillery and continues to build on its legacy, with two of their whiskies recently taking gold at The Spirits Business Luxury Masters 2024. We’ll be tasting their award-winning Australian Whisky and Australian Single Malt Whisky.

But before we get too far into the glass, we’ll shift gears into the world of automotive detailing with Matthew Gibb, a.k.a. ‘The Pad King’. Matthew, from Matt’s Magic Detail Tech, has been transforming cars for over 30 years, and with the Bay to Birdwood this weekend, it’s the perfect time to learn about the art of keeping classic cars in pristine condition. Whether you’re a car enthusiast or just appreciate the love and care that goes into preserving a piece of history, Matthew’s insights into the detailing world are bound to be fascinating.

And as always, we’ll round things off with our Musical Pilgrimage, where this week, we feature a track from Adelaide’s very own Mojo Dingo. Their song, So Refined, blends modern blues and funky rhythms, and we’ll explore how they’ve made waves on the local music scene, catching the ear of industry insiders.

So sit back, pour yourself a glass of your favourite South Australian spirit, and enjoy a journey through whisky, cars, and music!
