Nostalgic about his formative whisky days exploring supermarkets, Fergus arrives at the official 15yo Dalwhinnie. As a geek today, while he appreciates its value, we know where he goes from there…

The ever-vigilant Aengus asks an important question: Is Dramface drifting in its scoring? He fires up the data and dives in to find out... while enjoying a nice Balblair 15yo.

Drummond finds something of an excellent teleporter in this Glen Scotia 15yo, which takes him all the way back to Campbeltown. He teleports in Broddy and Dougie to share a dram too.

In researching a bargain dusty of the once-upon-a-time 15 year old from Tomatin, Broddy discovers the cost of a tour circa 2012; we bet you can't guess...

Over a pleasant but discontinued Glenfiddich 15yo, Earie makes a plea to William Grant's over the lack of decent releases, but really he could be speaking to so many legacy brands in this piece.

Murdo heads up one of our 'Then & Now' comparison reviews; this time featuring Longmorn's legendary 16 year olds. There's also a bonus buddy up on the iconic 15yo with Fergus.

In another Dramface Friday First, we’re introduced to Innes, who has a soft spot for Auchentoshan, but not without quibble. Here he compares two. They’re indies. Of course they are.

A buddy up review on Armorik, a French single malt with a considerable age-statement and, it would seem, a considerably impressive offering. Earie and Ainsley see what France is offering these days.

Like a band that has sold out, Fergus felt abandoned by his favourite distillery. He took a long time to give Balblair another chance. But here it is. A head-to-head. Rebrand vs previous livery.

Before pitching two big-hitting, and not inexpensive, Glen Garioch bottlings against each other, Doog decides to wait for his bad mood to pass.

After years of pounding his way through his favoured Islay big-hitters, Fergus one day encountered what he would come to understand as a Mileston Malt; Mortlach. He picks up a steal of an Signatory release to revisit.

With a confession that he knows very little about art, Fletch considers the art of whisky over a lesser-spotted indie Pulteney 15yo, and how it’s not always about its creation.

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. It’s one of Fletch’s favourites; Deanston. Looking for something that the Tequila cask has imparted, he compares it to a similarly insipid Tequila cask blend.

Always on the hunt for a bargain, Ramsay discovers the full Glenfiddich age-stated core range on offer, but he keeps his canny head on and plumps for the (also discounted) mini-selection pack instead. Blunderous or inspired?

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.

In what’s becoming something of a theme on Dramface, we have another auction success story, this time three of ‘em, as Broddy steals a trio of pretty Wemyss single casks.

A disappointed Drummond was tempted by a hefty discount on a bottle of JW Green, only to be shocked at how 15 year old malt could be neutered in such away.

Paying tribute to one of scotch whisky’s original indie bottlers, the consistent Gordon & MacPhail, Broddy uncovers four bangers and attempts to explain why he thinks that’s so easily possible.

Since so many of them are still around, Tyree gives an overview, with his own take on Diageo’s annual Special Releases
