Sad he no longer travels the US like he once did, Fletch is grateful once more for the sharing and caring of the whisky community. Especially the mules. A Leopold 8yo bourbon in the glass.

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.

Archie shares his thoughts on the new Teuchter 17yo from Decadent Drinks, while admitting to getting down and dirty with his precious camera and the pursuit of better pictures.

Sometimes relationships take a little time. But when they gel, you need a back up. We’re speaking about whisky, and dogs, apparently. Broddy shares doggy tales over a 31yo North Star Sirius.

The gateway dram for Charlie was a Dalmore 18 year old. We all start somewhere. In this instalment of his indy vs official series he tackles Dalmore once more. Four of them.

The Land of Doog is overrun by Hollywood as they film the reboot of Highlander. While he dreams at a distant peek at Henry Cavill’s abs, he slurps at Glasgow’s new White Port Small Batch. He’s content.

A stranger to Glenlossie until 2025, Charlie uncovered one of Diageo’s ‘blend houses’ in a Cadenhead’s tasting. Typically for him, a pleasant experience and a bottle purchase finds him exploring and comparing.

In the first of his series of “Official vs Indy” reviews, Charlie tees up one of our most evocative comparisons: Clynelish. The question is, will he uncover any of the W-word?

Things are a little quiet around Dramface HQ over Easter, but Ramsay spends a little time with the brand-new small batch from Glasgow, in another obscure - but tasty - dessert wine cask.

Facing an ever-expanding stash of samples, Archie decides to get torn into a pack of Tri Carragh samples he was sent last year, most of which are still available, and some of which are belters.

An homage to the past from Bruichladdich; their unabashed, self-indulgent celebration of a twenty-five year long renaissance. Nick, Murdo and Ramsay step up to review the new 10yo Old Skool.

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.

As a lapsed fan of Dungeons & Dragons, Hughie realises he’s using whisky as a way to continually re-write and relearn experiences. An independent duo of Aultmore illustrate a recent side-quest, and they’re tasty.

Ainsley has a few passions: whisky and music, sure, but he’s also a big fan of rugby. He chooses an opposing nation’s whisky output to mark the 6 Nations finale - a White Peak from Thompson Bros.

In true Gen X style, Ogilvie disconnects from the electronics, and the significant others, to set up a temporary escape with a pal and a LBD Drookit Dug for company.

Earie, like many of us, keeps Diageo on the naughty step until their insanely greedy and odd behaviours change. But gifts are gifts, so what’s he missing out on? Lagavulin 8 in the glass this time.

Palate fatigue. Mason is convinced it’s a thing. And so, he resolves to seek out things to switch up his sipping experiences. How about the stuff he likes less? Like full maturation PX? An Edradour 10 fits the bill.

Sad to see the end of Waterford, Ainsley shares his personal ideas on where things went wrong. Ultimately, with the Good Vibrations Micro Cuvée in the glass, he thinks the ‘novelties’ wore off.

Some much needed positivity from Gilbert as he shares why he thinks Scotch whisky is coming home, using Symington’s 10yo Blended Scotch as the perfect example of why.

You know what we all need now and again; a glass of something nice and a trip out to the porch. We may not have a porch, but we can enjoy the Shaw Porch, with Ogilvie, Art and a bottle of Sagamore Rye.
