Whisky Reviews
Here you'll find honest opinions, thoughtful analysis and the occasional disagreement, because no two palates are quite the same. We review widely, score reluctantly and remain convinced that whisky is far more interesting than the numbers attached to it.
Agreement is optional; curiosity is encouraged.
Jacktonβs RAER Inaugural
Looking back on a plethora of inaugural bottlings from all these new distilleries in recent years has Gilbert realising itβs hard to keep up. This time itβs Jacktonβs turn with their RAER Inaugural.
Cadenheadβs Bunnahabhain Trio
Drummond returns from a short hiatus with an insight into a trait that heβs come to accept; the need to pause and make time for self-care. A trio of Cadenheadβs Bunnahabhain helps of course.
Clonakilty Single Pot Still Batch 1
Irish whisky and its reasons for being largely absent from the minds of team Dramface has been a recent theme. Earie continues it, but does so over a different take on Single Pot Still from Clonakilty.
Balmenach Indy Quartet
Hamish has fallen down a Balmenach rabbit hole, which means heβs discovered a worm tub rabbit hole. Today, he shares four malts in a vertical line up looking into what the worm tub might be about.
Glenallachie 9yo Amontillado
After Broddy's Sherrygeddon experience, he continues pull upon the Amontillado Sherry thread. This time its the limited Wood Collection Series from Glenallachie.
Deanston Chronicles Edition 1
As a lover of Deanston and their famous waxy and floral character, Murdo hits an obstacle; the complexity of casks gets in the way of simply enjoying one of his favourites.
Glen Garioch 11yo Amontillado
After we were treated to Dougieβs Campbeltown trips in our feature section, he reviews one of the Cadenheadβs Warehouse bottles he snagged. Yep, itβs a Garioch and heβs in love.
Sherrygeddon
Once in a while Dramface tries to break the whisky internet. This time itβs Broddyβs attempt as he tries all the sherry, alongside associated whiskies. As a noob. And shares it blow by blow. What a session!
