A memorable label was etched into Ogilvie’s mind & one day he finally found a St George’s Baller; an American ode to Japanese whisky. Therein he discovers one of his most challenging pours he’s ever tried.

A brand new whisky appears, from a brand new Lowland distillery, and Wally barely noticed it. Fully natural and £45 too. Time to have a look into Edinburgh’s whisky renaissance.

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

Drawn by that comforting and familiar dumpy Balcones livery he loves, Ogilvie ends up buying something that he’d never have otherwise considered. In fact, something that can’t ever be considered whiskey.

Balcones continue to spin magic in a bottle

Two decadent Springers, but we have a winner.
