Whisky Reviews
Here you'll find honest opinions, thoughtful analysis and the occasional disagreement, because no two palates are quite the same. We review widely, score reluctantly and remain convinced that whisky is far more interesting than the numbers attached to it.
Agreement is optional; curiosity is encouraged.
Boann Marsala Cask
There aren’t many Irish whiskeys (or whiskies!) showing up in Murdo’s market, but he finds a Marsala Cask from Boann and pulls the trigger. Is it worth it? Is it any more transparent? Is it whisky or whiskey?
Clonakilty Single Pot Still Batch 1
Irish whisky and its reasons for being largely absent from the minds of team Dramface has been a recent theme. Earie continues it, but does so over a different take on Single Pot Still from Clonakilty.
Powers John’s Lane 12yo
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.
Bridgeland Canadian Whisky Four-way
Broddy discovers a nearby Canadian distillery doing everything all the right way, with local ingredients and an ingenious still set up. He dives in with both feet, buying four bottles at once. How does he fare?
