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.

Given that Broddy is Canadian, living in Alberta, he’s remarkably quiet about Canadian whiskies. Unless it’s Anohka, he’s not quiet about this. And it’s not even whisky yet.

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?

With a rare glimpse into Murdo’s home life, he shares a tale with a bottle that has become something of a domestic icon for him. A vintage Glendronach 21yo(?) from 2021.

Fergie wonders about his whisky personality; is he a hoarder, a collector or a rabbit-holer? A gifted whisky map from his dad confirms the latter and this Cadenhead’s Glenburgie offers up another.

In recent months Hamish has taken a step back from whisky and is viewing things from a little further back. As he returns to a 33yo bargain-banger from the Thompson Brothers, has he missed it?

In far flung places, it can be costly to sate the desires of a whisky chaser, shipping trans-global style. But when Abbey dropped a North Star Ardnamurchan, Nick and Calder both went for 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.

Murdo’s review of a Thompson Bros Mystery Malt Series 2 Clynelish is actually more a tale of sharing, generosity and community. With a little critical thought about the concept thrown in.

With a difficult-to-ignore desire to study more, Ally asks where his motivations lie in seeking whisky qualifications that will never be used. A classic Glasgow Small Batch is the subject of study for today.

On his 3rd attempt, Felix manages to snag a Meikle Tòir - The Turbo; an annual peat bomb that has always intrigued him. However, with time to interrogate, it gives him the toughest of scoring quandaries.

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?

Matching whisky with audience can be tricky. It’s either too much, or not enough. Our debutant Ally shares his experience with a NAS supermarket Tamnavulin Port Cask Edition. All £19 of it.

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.

More thrills and successes on unicorn hunts. Earie sets his sights on Springbank and, somewhat fortunately, lands a 15 year old in the crosshairs. Is it really coming back to us? Even Springbank?

Wally finally cracks open a bottle that’s been around for so long it became a burden of anxiety. Now that it’s open; how’s he feeling about having a 40yo Strathisla on the shelf?

When it comes to Springbank the spectre of visceral FOMO is never far away. However, Ramsay has been a little more fortunate recently and shares his thoughts on two recent ‘wins’.

Through adventures of European culture, Ainsley gives us an insight into taking a break from the intensity of Paris and whisky, before returning to some tasty Holyrood from Fragrant Drops.

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.

Who would’ve thought some dog-sitting would result in the ability to explore a bottle of whisky that you’d never buy yourself? Mason digs into this vintage Highland Park 18yo.
