When Ogilvie manages to snag a lesser-spotted Balcones Texas 1, he finds himself joined by another two who are just as excited to be sipping on the Texas Single Malt.

After ignoring a distillery he once thought had long closed, Charlie dives in to a duo comparison on Ben Nevis. Both from Decadent Drinks, both 12yo - sherry vs bourbon. Fight!

Once in a while, Mason gets genuinely excited about a new whisky release. This is one of those moments - and it’s a blend. Although one with a young and very different take on things; Turntable’s Born to be Wild.

In whisky, when is a finish not a finish? Fergie tackles a recent Small Batch form Glasgow and asks when it’s actually more like a secondary maturation. The 6yo Amarone ‘finish’ is in the glass.

Nick and Hamish team up for a dual review on a 10yo Glasgow released by RMW in 2025. Once more, we find ourselves appreciating a brilliant new spirit - and brilliant design too.

Ogilvie senses impostor syndrome. But he’s made of strong stuff and plods on regardless, doing a great job of sharing his thoughts on the September outturn from Decadent Drams for us all.

Ainsley is full of excuses: Brexit, holidays, distractions, work, being French. Eventually, he gets around to sharing some beauties from Decadent Drinks. The good news; they’re belters & mostly still about.

You’ve asked we do more of these, despite samples being a hot topic at Dramface. Well this time it’s sample-debutant Charlie’s turn with a set of minis from the Decadent Drinks June outturn. How will he get on?

Earie takes a wander through the Dram Mòr Autumn/Winter releases 2023 and discovers a solid turnout, but one of them knocks him clean off his feet.

Everyone's a winner, baby, that’s the truth

It’s whisky, but not as we know it, or allow it
