Before pitching two big-hitting, and not inexpensive, Glen Garioch bottlings against each other, Doog decides to wait for his bad mood to pass.

After years of pounding his way through his favoured Islay big-hitters, Fergus one day encountered what he would come to understand as a Mileston Malt; Mortlach. He picks up a steal of an Signatory release to revisit.

With a confession that he knows very little about art, Fletch considers the art of whisky over a lesser-spotted indie Pulteney 15yo, and how it’s not always about its creation.

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. It’s one of Fletch’s favourites; Deanston. Looking for something that the Tequila cask has imparted, he compares it to a similarly insipid Tequila cask blend.

Always on the hunt for a bargain, Ramsay discovers the full Glenfiddich age-stated core range on offer, but he keeps his canny head on and plumps for the (also discounted) mini-selection pack instead. Blunderous or inspired?

Where on earth has our long lost Aengus McCloud been? Well, Scotland, as it turns out. Specifically, Deanston and Benromach. He bought souvenirs to share with us too.

In what’s becoming something of a theme on Dramface, we have another auction success story, this time three of ‘em, as Broddy steals a trio of pretty Wemyss single casks.

A disappointed Drummond was tempted by a hefty discount on a bottle of JW Green, only to be shocked at how 15 year old malt could be neutered in such away.

Paying tribute to one of scotch whisky’s original indie bottlers, the consistent Gordon & MacPhail, Broddy uncovers four bangers and attempts to explain why he thinks that’s so easily possible.
