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.

A recent awakening to another very interesting new distillery, in his own backyard no less, has Drummond realising we are bearing witness to a grand natural experiment, and it’s yielding great results.

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!

A recent trip through Heathrow’s travel retail leaves Drummond uninspired, so he grabs a solid bottle from Deanston he picked up for a song, back when GTR (as it’s known) was a little more interesting.

While reviewing those two Aqvavitae Ardnamurchan bottles, somehow, in so many incidental ways, Dougie highlights all of the things to be grateful for exploring whisky. Those high-energy, emotional, glowing, amber-inspired moments we all love to live for.

Drummond dives into another solid Benromach, this time in the Contrasts Series range with their Double Matured Bordeaux. With it, he reaffirms that age isn't everything and even though it is not quite a hole-in-one, its still a worthy addition to the Benromach shelf.

In a Dramface first, we visit Nc’Nean. Two malts showcasing what they’re up to in sustainability and organic processes. Ramsay wonders if he’s missed anything, with a little help form Drummond.

A buddy-up review is required as Drummond and Dougie both have their beloved Ardna from rum casks to discuss. This wide but limited release is no doubt on a few Santa lists this year.

Drummond finally makes his pilgrimage to the whisky island and his favoured distillery therein; Bunnahabhain. Upon returning he reflects upon this new 2023 release of the now highly-anticipated Cask Strength 12yo and how well it represents its source.

If you’re not going to visit during Islay’s annual Fèis Ìle, can you still pick up the special bottles? If so, for how much and - the big question - are they worth it? Drummond snags a bargain… sort of.

After listening to “connoisseurs” preaching spirit and cask balance, Drummond found himself panicking he’d got it wrong. But revisiting an old Glenallachie Cask Strength or two has helped both him and Broddy come around again.

The inner turmoil of to-buy-or-not-to-buy, Drummond’s internal battle occurs in a Glasgow supermarket aisle. You already know which side wins, but was it a war worth waging?

Rolling with some good fortune at auction, Drummond snags an 18yo expression from his loved Glengoyne and finds it very tasty, yet confesses to not replacing. Why could that be?

Everything about this review is predictable, or so thinks Drummond. Yet he still realised that this Glenfarclas 25yo was the only official bottle of this age statement he could afford. Was it worth it?

Like so many, Drummond is a Lockdown whisky geek. To catch up he ventures into Highland Park’s official 10yo to find some of that famous “all-rounder” character, only to discover something of a bargain no-brainer.

A disappointed Drummond was tempted by a hefty discount on a bottle of JW Green, only to be shocked at how 15 year old malt could be neutered in such away.

Ever in pursuit of reliving an old Whisky Epiphany with Clynelish, Drummond searches for memories in a SMWS release, only to discover yet another bottling released just a bit too early.

When we nose and taste whiskies, what about the sensation of temperature? Drummond thinks he can taste “cool” and “warm”. We tend to agree. What about this bargain Caol Ila?
