Swinging in with a quick sequel and an expensive trophy, Nick is so impressed with this batch of Springbank’s 12yo that he’s already (almost) forgotten just how much he handed over for the privilege.

For those of us living in the wider Scotch Whisky diaspora, we often must experience Campbeltown’s mythical spirits vicariously through others. In Ogilvie’s latest, he tracks down two of the Wee Toon’s Blended Malts in this side by side comparison.

Knowing it’s pretty difficult to get a Springbank Local Barley, Wally goes ahead with a review anyway; to share his theories, but also just to say thanks.

When we love whisky so much, it’s hard to be brutal about some of the obvious negatives. Yet sometimes, when things are clearly wrong, we just have to call it out. This decision was not taken lightly.

Less of a collab; more of a dual review - featuring Fletcher’s debut and seasoned support from Drummond, both enjoying being able to actually celebrate a festival release. How weird!

Dramface takes on a six bottle outturn from Watt Whisky, it’s a team effort. Two single malts, a blended malt, a blend, a single grain and a curious Bas Armagnac. No wonder the images are blurry.

Reflecting on the recent OSWA nominations, Earie argues that, just because something is obvious, shouldn’t mean it’s discounted. He posits that this, the Springbank 10yo, is a benchmark.

In the search for a good value bottle Wally finds the Campbeltown Loch from J&A Mitchell most agreeable, but he’d just like a little help to more easily determine which one he’s drinking.

A love affair with Campbeltown Whiskies, gone cold, warms again for Ramsay with a lucky find of his beloved Kilkerran 16yo. Is this 2023 recipe departure enough to reignite the romance?

Double prizes! Another Broddy auction haul inspired a face-off comparison as well as a handy guide to help you navigate your way around the costs involved in whisky auctions.

When entering ballots for a whisky you can often face difficult odds - and difficult questions. Broddy gets lucky in his province for a Kilkerran Cask Strength Sherry and shares his thoughts on how he came to get it as well as the bottle itself.

Blending whisky is a genuine art form that demands maximum respect. Dougie signed up to try a session himself in Campbeltown. From lunch to jelly legs, he takes us vividly along.

Dramface is a review site, sure. But many of our writers choose to tell stories or occasionally draw the curtain back on the technical side. In this piece, Dougie literally takes us to Campbeltown. A beautiful experience with photography and words to match.

Tyree in full flight at his laser-powered and cutting best. Nothing’s off limits when it comes to this hype-antidote piece. Not for the feint hearted or easily offended.

In an extremely insightful sharing of much information, Tyree shares, to an exact degree, the what, when and where of his tasting routines. He picks two 10 year old Springers to do so, the Local Barley and a core release. We’re off to clean our teeth!

Ramsay throws some cheeky auction bids towards replacing his fast-disappearing bourbon cask 2023 Kilkerran and is shocked by the results.

We find Wally in an unfortunate huff. In a whisky world with too many examples of things being cynically enshittified, he’s on the hunt for an antidote.

If we’re going to blindly chase bottles based on reputation alone, measured and as-objective-as-possible critique is crucial. Enter Tyree vs some mature Longrow. Fussiness expected.

Tyree holds up another bottle of unobtanium and offers an alternative.
