The Land of Doog is overrun by Hollywood as they film the reboot of Highlander. While he dreams at a distant peek at Henry Cavill’s abs, he slurps at Glasgow’s new White Port Small Batch. He’s content.

In whisky, when is a finish not a finish? Fergie tackles a recent Small Batch form Glasgow and asks when it’s actually more like a secondary maturation. The 6yo Amarone ‘finish’ is in the glass.

Nick and Hamish team up for a dual review on a 10yo Glasgow released by RMW in 2025. Once more, we find ourselves appreciating a brilliant new spirit - and brilliant design too.

Once more, Wally’s weary brain is faced with a whisky he doesn’t understand. In the end he wonders if the odd presentation of The Borders’ Right As Rain release is all to do with it being too cheap.

Charlie’s been around whisky just about long enough to realise he’s going to change his mind. He reflects on his scoring and how he nearly missed out by trying to give this Glasgow Port Cask away.

Once more we visit the ultimate humbling - blind tasting whisky. This time around Ainsley considers what the minimal details are required to legally sell whisky with a Thompson Bros Mystery Malt Series 3.

Our resident Parisian Ainsley is still unpacking the madness that was Glasgow’s Whisky Festival in 2025. With some distance, he also unpacks a lesser seen indie Auchentoshan from newcomers Whisky Craft.

Fergus tries Glasgow malt at Glasgow whisky festival, only to ask it to live up to the experience when he has it back home. He also makes some observations about openness and transparency, and the humility of cities.

Hamish is drawn to comparing Lochlea’s new Dark Briar to the similar sherry-cask Fallow Edition. In doing so he starts to wonder how the concept of a ‘core range’ ever came about in malt whisky.

Charlie is on the hunt for whiskies that can engage both the purist and the pragmatist, without costing the earth. He finds one and, as is often the case, it was on his door step. The Clydeside Napier.

Doog’s love for an Edinburgh single grain knows no bounds, especially when he can follow a story and reconnect with an old pal. Unkiltered’s 34yo North British in the glass.

In recent months Hamish has taken a step back from whisky and is viewing things from a little further back. As he returns to a 33yo bargain-banger from the Thompson Brothers, has he missed it?

With a difficult-to-ignore desire to study more, Ally asks where his motivations lie in seeking whisky qualifications that will never be used. A classic Glasgow Small Batch is the subject of study for today.

A mid-life crisis may be looming, but it gives Fletch the inspiration to return to some serious whisky sharing. So, does this brand-new Kingsbarns 10yo inspire him to get some pals over?

Through adventures of European culture, Ainsley gives us an insight into taking a break from the intensity of Paris and whisky, before returning to some tasty Holyrood from Fragrant Drops.

A shipping miscommuniqué sees various Dramface team members end up with whisky they didn’t expect. This time it’s Glasgow’s 1770 Constantia and it means three can join in on the review.

Over the years, Earie has taught himself what he likes and likes less. But with a dearth of Signatory Vintage’s 100º Proof Series in Belgium, he picks up a North British 15yo grain, and learns a lesson.

Some whiskies split the crowd. At Dramface, we have the luxury of occasionally being able to harness that. Like this Glasgow 1770 Pineau Des Charentes. Is Fletch’s bonfire Hughie’s damp campfire?

Doog came scarily close to declaring a whisky a disaster. Fortunately, a 70cl bottle of Glasgow’s Small Batch Syrah was coincidentally diverted his way to save everyone’s blushes.
