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.

Enjoying a cracking bottle of Dunville’s 10yo Palo Cortado has Hamish wondering why there isn’t more made of the rich whisky history in his homeland. Is it time for a Bushmills Belfast Experience?

Earie admits he’s become something of a fanboy of the oh-so-recently unheard of Piccadilly single malt releases. This time it’s a peated affair in the shape of the Indri Agneya.

Hamish has been waiting patiently for this milestone. As a fan of the ethics & approach of Dingle, he’s finally been rewarded with a ten year old Irish Single Malt. Does he love it?

Ainsley is full of excuses: Brexit, holidays, distractions, work, being French. Eventually, he gets around to sharing some beauties from Decadent Drinks. The good news; they’re belters & mostly still about.

Ainsley’s world spins in whisky. Through this amber life, he’s met a few friends. Some of these friends come armed with whisky. Lots of it. Like this Amrut Cask Strength Indian Single Malt.

While giving a shout out to some domestic American Single Malt, Ogilvie reflects on his peers, parenting, tattoos and… Sexual Chocolate, with Virginia Distilling Co. Brewers coalition in the glass.

Broddy shares his thoughts on his three ‘R’ of Dramface: Resilience, Reliability and Relevance. He holds us to account on all three over his favourite world whisky - Millstone. And a tasty looking cocktail too.

In a follow up to yesterday’s serendipitous collaborative review, we interrogate the purpose and provenance of Nikka’s Coffey Malt. It’s something of an odd fish that we seem to, oddly, appreciate.

Our cocktail shenanigans continue, but not without reviewing the whisky itself first. Ainsley brings us a Claret Snap, his own take on the Whisky Sour, using the acclaimed Uncle Nearest 100º Proof.

Murdo considers the gamble each time we purchase a bottle of something new - the gamble of value. Even when he reaches out to a Dramface peer for this Star Hill Farm, he can’t be assured a good deal.

Doog’s annual sailing trips to Campbeltown with his sidekick Foosty have taken on different flavours of adventure every time. He shares part 1 at Cadenhead’s & a Spirit of Yorkshire that, in itself, takes him on a journey.

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.

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?

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?

Over a glass of whisky that could well suffer the highest angel’s share anywhere - Milk & Honey’s Dead Sea - Fletcher reflects and reminds himself it’s always about the regular people.

In a somewhat confessional piece, Innes shares his thoughts on a pricey-but-delightful Adelphi Chichibu. While also addressing an interesting and relatable point about ageism in whisky.

When considering how much whisky costs - and how much of it is actually affordable - Mason puts the case forward for ditching your mid-priced wine habit for some tasty Dutch Millstone 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!
