An homage to the past from Bruichladdich; their unabashed, self-indulgent celebration of a twenty-five year long renaissance. Nick, Murdo and Ramsay step up to review the new 10yo Old Skool.

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.

Dougie has been out injured. All his own doing, of course. He’s now medicating in a bath of Sauternes-flavoured Ardnamurchan. Four of them, actually. He’s been missed.

In reflective mode, Dougie does what we need him to do: close out the year with a retrospective via Ardnamurchan. AD/10, Sauternes and AD/Venturers all up for grabs. He pulls in Ainsley to help out.

The Dougie Crystal Blend. A meticulous, carefully crafted plan to create the best possible blend, was quickly tossed out the window as the giddiness of eight cask strength bangers took hold.

A fan of the annual fun laid on by Fife’s Festival, Dougie uncorks this year’s official event bottling by Fib Whisky and realises Glenglassaugh might be yet another distillery to get his eager teeth into.

In celebrating their local wildlife, Ardnamurchan decided to fly with the Midgie. So despite bearing the name of Scotland’s most hated creature, it still proves popular as a swarm of us gather to review it.

Justifying his love of Linkwood, Murdo lines up four differently matured takes on its malt, all indies and all teenagers. One in particular has him demand this Speysider be celebrated more.

Wally talks himself in and out of liking this release as he struggles with the cost and the direction of things, all the while realising this is the best Bruichladdich he remembers tasting.

Never one to easily turn down a good deal, Broddy springs for one of his favoured Bruichladdich peated Port Charlottes with the recent sauternes cask SC:01. Did it live up to expectation? Well, yes, with a caveat.

Wood versus distillate delivers a memorable surprise.
