Broddy snags a treat - his first ever freebie. But while he assesses this Madeira Cask Kavalan from a local retail community hub, he happens upon a realisation about legacy.

West-coast born, but East-coast dwelling, Charlie stands up for Scotland’s East Neuk. Over two Kingsbarns charmers he asks why there’s not more fuss made of their whisky renaissance.

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?

In discovering a cracking but largely ignored Johnnie Walker Blend, Wally shares why we don’t talk about - or chase - traffic at Dramface. An odd position, but the whisky’s great!

Today Murdo reveals his milestone epiphanies and, specifically, how they led to appreciating more spirit-forward drams such as the classic Glencadam 15yo. Calder chips in from Oz too.

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.

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.

Whisky finds you. Sometimes it has to be found elsewhere and carried in a backpack over borders and mountains, but it finds you. Dougie was found by the latest Longrow 100º Proof.

In his debut, Felix puts forward the case for Scotch whisky’s restricted innovation as well as an apparently overlooked bottle from Edinburgh’s Holyrood; their still available ‘Pitch’ release.

After yearning for an ex-bourbon unfettered Glasgow release, Ramsay has his wish granted when a ten year old finally drops. A limited milestone it may be, but does it live up to the dream?

After preaching about his resolutions to become a little more ‘scrutinous’ about purchases, an auction offers up a Gold Cock Czech whisky and Earie can’t resist a punt. How did that work out?

Ramsay tackles an important aspect of Irish whiskey. Over a glass of Powers John’s Lane 12yo, he declares that the category worryingly possesses a distinct lack of transparency.

In a busy and crowded whisky space, Hamish takes it upon himself to investigate a distillery that’s been off his radar: Lindores Abbey. Their Thiron annual release brings out the history buff in him.

Today we learn the swap for yesterday’s review. Ainsley pushes the boat out for a pricey 18 year old and splits it with Dramface Jackie in a celebration of what whisky is all about - sharing. Hughie chips in too!

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.

Charlie asks the all important question - If Bowmore is truly one of Scotch whisky’s legends - why are none of their official releases any good? Brutal. But he explores three to find out.

Gilbert adds another Johnnie Walker to the collection and asks ‘what’s in a name?’ A lot, apparently, especially when you’re trying really hard to find the right one.

A buddy-up duo up to try out the Glen Scotia 18 year old. Broddy shares some of his frustrations with the business of life decisions while Wally shares frustrations over decisions in whisky business.

Eallair brings us his long awaited Chapter 4 piece on the history of American Single Malt Whiskey, this time we look towards Missouri and rectification with a double West Bottoms review too.

Springtime warmth draws Ramsay closer to brighter, fresher whiskies and - it seems - more local too. Ho dips into a local Coles Single Malt and wonders why his Welsh whisky has faltered?
