SA Drink Of The Week

Matthew Gibb

Musical Pilgrimage

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!

Running Sheet: Polish Those Bay To Birdwood Cars And Polish Off That Australian Whisky With A Dash Of Blues

00:00:00 Intro

Introduction

00:03:05 SA Drink Of The Week

The South Australian Drinks Of The Week this week are from 23rd Street Distillery.

In this episode, we have the privilege of tasting not one but two stellar whiskies from 23rd Street Distillery. Joining us is distiller, Paul Burnett, the man behind the magic. Well, he admits he inherited some magic when he joined the Renmark operation two years ago.

We’re doing this tasting because at The Spirits Business Luxury Masters 2024, their Australian Whisky, triumphed in the World Whisky – Super-Premium category, and their Australian Single Malt Whisky, took gold in the Ultra-Premium category.

00:26:05 Matthew Gibb, The Pad King and Matt’s Magic Detail Tech

Just ahead of Sunday’s Bay To Birdwood, we’re joined by Matthew Gibb, the mastermind behind Matt’s Magic, a professional detailer with over 30 years of experience in the automotive detailing world.

Matthew’s journey began in 1993, transforming his humble Suzuki Swift into a showstopper, and since then, he’s been pushing the boundaries of detailing with cutting-edge technologies.

As Bay to Birdwood enthusiasts know, keeping classic cars in pristine condition is about more than just appearances—it’s a dedication to preserving history and craftsmanship. Matthew’s passion for perfection, much like that of the event’s participants, celebrates both the art and science of automotive care.

Whether you’re an enthusiast or simply curious about the world of detailing, today’s conversation will offer a glimpse into how Matthew has transformed his love for cars into a career at the forefront of the industry.

01:11:21 Musical Pilgrimage

In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature So Refined by Mojo Dingo.

Steve dubs them as not 12-bar blues, or 16-bar blues, or 8-bar blues, but just pure BAR blues.

Matt Cahill from Paper Rock Scissors records agrees, noting that although they’re standard 12-bar blues, the thing about them is that ‘to me’ they seem to be an almost perfect blend of blues & catchy pop/rock.

Matt had never been a fan of the Blues, until the very first time he saw these guys and signed them to his label that evening.

Mojo Dingo is a modern blues funk band hailing from Adelaide, Australia. The hardworking and dynamic group has earned its stripes on the live circuit, supporting world-renowned guitarist Josh Smith and fellow Aussie icons The Bondi Cigars.
