How much would you expect to pay for 30 year old whisky in 2023? Ramsay was pleasantly surprised when it came to this Cadenhead’s value prospect, but he wobbled before opening it… for our pleasure.

Three preambles for one whisky review? Something is borked at Dramface HQ and Wally takes pleasure in realising it’s only partly his fault for a change. It still makes for a nice whisky discovery though.

With four bottles stretching four decades Wally takes a nostalgic stroll through his love for not only an iconic 10 year old, but a style of whisky that he feels is currently ignored and needs to be addressed.

A surprise drop of Canadian Rye has Aengus’ trigger finger twitching. He knows he could be disappointed, he knows some facts will be hidden, yet he can’t help himself. He wants so much for Canadian whisky to be great. Will a port cask do the trick?

Something’s broken. This 47% ABV release from Auchentoshan has Wally drinking his whisky straight from the freezer.

Rolling with some good fortune at auction, Drummond snags an 18yo expression from his loved Glengoyne and finds it very tasty, yet confesses to not replacing. Why could that be?

In response to the recent news that Gordon & Macphail will stop filling casks and bottling independently, Broddy picks up a couple of local G&M Distillery Labels series finds and cracks them in mild contemplation of what this significant news holds for malt whisky’s future.

Where on earth has our long lost Aengus McCloud been? Well, Scotland, as it turns out. Specifically, Deanston and Benromach. He bought souvenirs to share with us too.

Wally puts the case forward for something compellingly unique as he considers how much influence ‘influencers’ actually have.

In the search for a good value bottle Wally finds the Campbeltown Loch from J&A Mitchell most agreeable, but he’d just like a little help to more easily determine which one he’s drinking.

The changing of the seasons has Ogilvie recalling a trip to the magical Isle of Islay as he declares this entry-level peater one of his favourite ever, and perhaps Kilchoman’s best.

A love affair with Campbeltown Whiskies, gone cold, warms again for Ramsay with a lucky find of his beloved Kilkerran 16yo. Is this 2023 recipe departure enough to reignite the romance?

Dougie decides that this whisky knocks socks off, that it’s interesting, complex, exciting, enduring, endearing and put out for the sole reason that this is just what Ardnamurchan whisky is - we can therefore we do.

Here we have Tyree’s case for Ardbeg’s Bizarrebq, specifically that despite cheesy ads and contrived ideas, perhaps we have a special release from Ardbeg worthy of it’s price tag.

Double prizes! Another Broddy auction haul inspired a face-off comparison as well as a handy guide to help you navigate your way around the costs involved in whisky auctions.

Everything about this review is predictable, or so thinks Drummond. Yet he still realised that this Glenfarclas 25yo was the only official bottle of this age statement he could afford. Was it worth it?

Discovering new things is one of the true delights of whisky exploration. It seems, in this Indri Indian Single Malt, Ogilvie, Earie and Wally have all found something very worthwhile.

Never having previously connected with Edradour, Ramsay tackles their brand-new batch one release of their Cask Strength, with pleasant results.

As life throws Ogilvie challenges he adopts his “bunker mentality”. Drawing him out of it are two companions, one life-long and one much more recent. This is a feel-good whisky review.

Like so many, Drummond is a Lockdown whisky geek. To catch up he ventures into Highland Park’s official 10yo to find some of that famous “all-rounder” character, only to discover something of a bargain no-brainer.
