A nostalgic look back in time with Broddy. As he sips an ancient and lost style of Loch Lomond, perhaps never intended to reach 30yo, he thinks back to how things were once made differently.

Sometimes, a whisky choice is much more about the moment than the liquid itself. When Ogilvie welcomes a friend of 53 years, he decides to drop the fancies. Inchmurrin 12yo is in the glass.

In discovering a cracking SMWS Loch Lomond Inchmurrin, Broddy goes full Broddy and gives us a deep dive into our scoring, the whys and the whats and the hows. It’s fascinating.

In recent times Ramsay has started to shift his relationship with whisky - specifically his buying habits. But some things still force a joyful trigger-pull, such as a new Distillery Edition Loch Lomond.

After a point, we all struggle to answer “What’s your favourite whisky?” But there’s a worse question. Charlie shares an Inchmurrin fruit bomb from the Thompson Bros & Glasgow’s Good Spirits Co.

Earie is selective when it comes to pals. He likes to hang on to the good ones. like those who’ll pick up a bottle of Loch Lomond Remarkable Alchemy while heading through an airport.

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.

The last of Ogilvie’s auction spoils has him happy. A venture into a new take on a familiar style; a 1st fill French Limousin oak and a single cask Loch Lomond Open Edition from 2020.

While in Scotland & lamenting the things he can’t easily get a hold of, Ainsley strikes a deal. In return for oor Jackie sourcing him some of this tasty Loch Lomond Distillery Edition 6, he offers a swap.

Wally decides it’s his turn to try some outturn samples. This time it’s the Decadent Drinks Decadent Drams/Whiskyland April 2025 line up of Spirit of Yorkshire, Inchmurrin, Miltonduff & Imperial.

The Glen Scotia ‘disco cow’ releases have become legendary, but unfortunately for their inconsistency. Charlie harks back to his Campbeltown childhood and shares where this 21yo lies.

Through an auction win, Earie is sucked into the fascinating history and story behind the great Silvano Samaroli, as he realises just how influential he was in the scotch story.

Another debut for Dramface. Hughie, through multiple false starts, eventually falls for whisky, but not through the ‘typical’ route. His vibe is the off-piste flavour hooks & this Loch Lomond 12yo brings it.

Joining SMWS requires a membership which, as well as some other IB vagaries, was intimidating to Hamish. Now he wholeheartedly embraces indies but he shares why, until now, he’s never signed up.

Changing times, changing tastes. Dougie re-reviews a bargain banger Glen Scotia Festival edition a mere two years after the first time. He's shocked to realise how much he's changed.

Ogilvie reaches for an Inchmurrin, liking it to his favourite comfy sweater, only to discover someone has swapped it out for a polyester t-shirt one size too small.

Hamish manages to (almost) avoid a smattering of golfing analogies as he uncorks Loch Lomond’s 2024, “The Open” release. It’s on the Chardonnay theme too; but not the yeast this time.

Not just a review from Broddy, but a confession. A reflection on what he’s buying: how many, how much is open, what producers and - how much he’s actually spent. Sobering indeed.

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.

Amazing gestures of generosity place Doog in the possession of two much celebrated special releases from Loch Lomond; the XL Fermentation DE3 goes up against Aqvavitae’s 2022 release.
