It seems that Pulteney have never been fully forgiven for the brand update that happened all the way back in 2018. Drummond put the case forward for their often overlooked 18 year old.

It’s a popular bottle, the Longrow 18. So much so, it generates one of our famous Dramface pile-ons, with Earie, Mike, Drummond and Murdo all reviewing their own annual editions. Perfect.

Drummond returns from a short hiatus with an insight into a trait that he’s come to accept; the need to pause and make time for self-care. A trio of Cadenhead’s Bunnahabhain helps of course.

Ogilvie leads a four-way collab review of a…collab. This time it’s the 3yo blended Scotch from Living Souls x Thomspon Bros: a sherry/peat blend and cracking value.

Staring at ever more sagging and creaking shelves, Drummond admits he’s been on something of a bottle ban in 2025. But it does allow him to crack some long saved charmers, like this Bunnahabhain 18yo.

We take a break from our summer, erm, break, to bring an epic team Dramface pile-on for the Thompson Brothers’ Mystery Malt Series No.2. Let’s see if we all pay attention to the try-it-blind memo this time.

With three Longrow expressions as company, and in a reflective mood, Drummond looks back on his first days living in Scotland as an ex-pat American. He remembers one of his influential coaches in Scottish life - and whisky.

After something of an unintended hiatus, Drummond figures out it’s just where he’s at - no longer feeling the need to chase. Instead of FOMO, he’s embracing JOMO - and four cracking Kilkerrans.

An annual treat for Fergie is to splash out on an indulgent treat. Despite a previous false start, he chose Deanston and their 18yo. What did he discover? It’s a Dramface pile on.

Anyone in for some Dry January? Thought not. Drummond has his own ideas and while he shares them, he does so over a high strength Isle of Arran; their Sherry Cask.

Glasgow has been generous with their whisky recently. And fearless; since they ship to anonymous writer without obligation. Is this confidence? Fergus, Hamish and Drummond dig in.

Some new, cracking value, Glasgow 1770 Small Batch releases have dropped. Dougie leads a team up with Drummond and Wally to check out the Madeira and the Islay Cask. Don’t miss these.

Betrayal; that of friends and family, but also the worst kind; that of distilleries! Drummond and Ainsley team up over some peaty Bunnahabhain Staoisha to discuss the fickle relationship.

Drummond finds something of an excellent teleporter in this Glen Scotia 15yo, which takes him all the way back to Campbeltown. He teleports in Broddy and Dougie to share a dram too.

As Ardnamurchan turns 10 years old, Drummond dives into their recent Golden Promise release single cask; the one for the George Hotel in Inveraray. To suggest he likes it is an understatement.

Drummond, Ramsay and Hamish team up on a Nc’Nean British Rum Cask release, only to end up unintentionally positing the question; how much should a single cask of this age cost?

Drummond takes a deep dive; what is Bere Barley and why are Bruichladdich using it? He then sips it against his 2014 Islay Barley to see if it’s worth the extra cash. Interesting indeed.

As the 2024 Campbeltown Malts Festival 2024 draws near, Ramsay and Drummond buddy up for a popular modern malt, fairly priced and tasty, they celebrate ‘the good old days’ of right now.

We all like intensity and focus, but what about when we just need something functional to ‘get it done’? Drummond makes the case for an under-the-radar Càrn Mòr bottling of Glenburgie he stole at auction.

A collab is required as Broddy and Drummond both review what we believe to be some of the best value all-natural whiskies about right now. Benromach Peat smoke time.
