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.

So much about a whisky purchase is founded in trust. Wondering where that comes from, Murdo shares a tale of treacherous ski slopes and a Bruichladdich Black Art Sapero.

Betraying his age as well as his sense of humour and movie preferences, Archie surprises himself with a low-expectations bottling from Lagavulin: their new 11 year old Sweet Peat.

Nick and Hamish team up for a dual review on a 10yo Glasgow released by RMW in 2025. Once more, we find ourselves appreciating a brilliant new spirit - and brilliant design too.

As a lapsed fan of Dungeons & Dragons, Hughie realises he’s using whisky as a way to continually re-write and relearn experiences. An independent duo of Aultmore illustrate a recent side-quest, and they’re tasty.

Ainsley has a few passions: whisky and music, sure, but he’s also a big fan of rugby. He chooses an opposing nation’s whisky output to mark the 6 Nations finale - a White Peak from Thompson Bros.

In true Gen X style, Ogilvie disconnects from the electronics, and the significant others, to set up a temporary escape with a pal and a LBD Drookit Dug for company.

What’s better than a single Springbank 12 Cask Strength review? Three reviews of course. After a short Dramface break, we return with batches 26 through 28 in Archie’s glass. He’s a happy man.

Dougie’s been away. Inventing & shaping that which is meant to last forever. It takes another barnstormer from Ardnamurchan to bring him back under the enthralment of that which is deliberately transient.

In a particularly fun and relatable piece, Ally shares the challenges at home of juggling the transition away from his over-accumulation and the onset of Storage Wars. A Wolfburn No.270 is in the glass.

Archie happens upon a ‘distillery’ he’s never heard of. This ‘Shieldaig’ turns out to be a branded malt, which is fine. It has a purpose. Just like Dramface, which he also wants to discuss a little.

Earie, like many of us, keeps Diageo on the naughty step until their insanely greedy and odd behaviours change. But gifts are gifts, so what’s he missing out on? Lagavulin 8 in the glass this time.

Many of the Dramface team are overly-affected by branding, none more than Ally. In a space rapidly moving towards homogenised ‘clean’ and ‘modern’, he finds solace in Fragrant Drops. Tasty too.

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?

Drummond returns from a short hiatus with an insight into a trait that he’s come to accept; the need to pause and make time for self-care. A trio of Cadenhead’s Bunnahabhain helps of course.

Palate fatigue. Mason is convinced it’s a thing. And so, he resolves to seek out things to switch up his sipping experiences. How about the stuff he likes less? Like full maturation PX? An Edradour 10 fits the bill.

Sad to see the end of Waterford, Ainsley shares his personal ideas on where things went wrong. Ultimately, with the Good Vibrations Micro Cuvée in the glass, he thinks the ‘novelties’ wore off.

All good things must end. Archie wraps up his Northern California trip & kills off one of his favourite ever from his beloved Caol Ila: a Woodrows in Palo Cortado.

Three of the team hark back to Christmas vibes as they each, independently, happen upon a Signatory 100º Proof Exceptional Cask Glentauchers. As is typical with Dramface, it divides opinion.

Some much needed positivity from Gilbert as he shares why he thinks Scotch whisky is coming home, using Symington’s 10yo Blended Scotch as the perfect example of why.
