In an effort to keep his palate and whisky fun as diverse as possible, Broddy tucks into some That-Boutiquey-Whisky-Company releases from Europe, including Austria, Switzerland Sweden and Finland.

A collab is required as Broddy and Drummond both review what we believe to be some of the best value all-natural whiskies about right now. Benromach Peat smoke time.

Broddy and Aengus team up to review some of the last remaining liquid from Canadian ghost distillery Potter’s. This bottling is a 22yo from Great Plains with a 5yr finish in cognac.

Despite a love and admiration for all things Japanese, Broddy feels burned by this sourced effort form Kaiyo, where a lot of effort has gone into producing something that’s very dull indeed. And expensive.

Enjoying a buddy night, Broddy reflects that the takeaway was, once more, price. Inspired to find an antidote for his tasting pals, he discovers this cracking malt form Elixir.

“Whisky in a can? Well, if it’s that or no whisky - gimme the can!” At first we worry Broddy has lost his mind, then we realise he’s Canadian, and turning his neighbourhood into a skate rink is normal. Let’s go.

Broddy was one of those who stepped forward to declare 2023 ‘the Year of the Blend’. In 2024, he reflects on his prediction over a glass or two of Turntable Spirits exceptional inaugural Track 01 & Track 02 releases

Our resident Canadians, Aengus and Broddy, get together and get excited over a bottle split of rye whisky. Let’s just say they went Dutch.

Broddy heads back to grab a second bottle of an absolute banger, only to discover they’re all sold. Worse, some naughty whisky mules have been smuggling ‘em out of his native home to punt on Scottish auction sites. Cue a Broddy huff.

Not just a review from Broddy, but a confession. A reflection on what he’s buying: how many, how much is open, what producers and - how much he’s actually spent. Sobering indeed.
