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.
Nc’Nean Huntress Duo
Ogilvie leads as he, Archie and Eallair team up on a duo of special releases from Nc’Nean. Supplied through Nick, each of them have a go at Edition 4 ‘ Lemon Meadow’ and 5 “Malted Teacake”.
Kilchoman Islay Series - The Vineyard
Ogilvie conducts a social experiment while visiting Martha’s Vineyard - how many polite Good Mornings are returned on his walkabout? He picks up his Vineyard exclusive Kilchoman too.
Glendronach 14yo Single Cask Nation
Remember that Dramface article where the writer took the bottle on a hike for pictures and almost stood on a big rattlesnake? Single Cask Nation Glendronach 14 to share the tale.
Kingsbarns 10yo
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?
Nc’Nean Organic Single Malt
With so much to choose from, Mason is becoming more picky than ever. When it comes to replacing things he’s already tried, like this Nc’Nean Organic, he’s even pickier.
Thompson Brothers Mystery Malt Series 2
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.
Kingsbarns Duo
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.
American Single Malt History Pt3: New Riff Sour Mash Single Malt
In the 3rd part of his epic tale of American Single Malt, Eallair invites Bourbon to enter the chat. Fascinating history and insight join a review of New Riff’s Sour Mash Single Malt. Epic stuff!
Kingsbarns Dream to Dram
Many of us operate on a budget; it can take a long time to get through our personal ‘wish-lists’. Sometimes, by the time we do, the whisky has gone, like Gilbert’s Kingsbarns Dream to Dram.
Nc’Nean Single Malts Duo
In a Dramface first, we visit Nc’Nean. Two malts showcasing what they’re up to in sustainability and organic processes. Ramsay wonders if he’s missed anything, with a little help from Drummond.
Cotswolds Founder’s Choice
Before submitting a long-awaited article, Gilbert ponders all the excuses he might have for not being as productive as he’d like. Just like the rest of us then. Cask strength Cotswolds English whisky helps though.
Kingsbarns Distillery Reserve
A magical moment of masterful whisky. Gratefully not the last we’ll see.
