Aengus is back. In reviewing the very latest release from Dr. Don’s Rye Cask Lot 40 Cask Strength - with a cherry wood finish - he tries to define the attributes of ‘cool’.

How to convey the breathless experience of the world’s Largest Whisky Show? We send in Ainsley. Who seems to drink the time of his life. Oh, and a lesser-seen Balmenach review, for value.

After a horrific experience with Tasmanian whisky, Calder returns to his local stuff after significant inspiration from his favourite dram pairing; literature. He sets out with a Killara Port Cask.

Ogilvie has been starved of whisky choice recently, but a positive effect of this is a more curious mind. Which led hime to pick up a 14yo Invergordon official bottling. We’re intrigued!

Reflecting on the rise of modern blends; Fletcher thinks about the incidental rise of the amateur blender, and tries a few of these newer products up against the benchmark; Johnnie Black 12yo.

Betrayal; that of friends and family, but also the worst kind; that of distilleries! Drummond and Ainsley team up over some peaty Bunnahabhain Staoisha to discuss the fickle relationship.

Despite his youth, Broddy has a concern that whisky is at risk of becoming stuffy once more. Is that about age? Or age statements? As Shelter Point comes of age he shares his thoughts.

Future Broddy writes. Times change and priorities shift. With enough whisky to last him eight years, he's content. Then what? He chews it over with two Bunnahabhain Fèis Ìle releases.

After conquering his recent FOMO, Ramsay tries to banish his HAMO; Have Already Missed Out. Reviewing Clynelish - one of whisky's legends - makes him consider what's gone before.

Following up on his epic wine cask cheat-sheet feature, Ainsley treats us to a super-interesting French bargain banger matured in a - you guessed it - French wine cask.

Earie has a think about the annual Online Scotch Whisky Awards, premiumisation and why he can only enjoy a delicious Glenrothes through an indie.

At Dramface, we're confident we're about to see a LOT more of this available in the not-too-distant future. In the meantime, Inness cracks open a rarely seen bottle of indy Tormore.

A very specific whisky is called for as three old friends gather in support of each other. In the face of acute loss, Ogilvie calls upon Balvenie's classic 12yo Doublewood to assist in catharsis.

What a treat for a Friday; Dougie turns 40 with loved ones, a Glenallachie 8yo Scottish Oak and an Ardnamurchan 10yo that we'll need to bully him, or treat him, to hear more about.

In a buddy up review Gilbert and Ramsay enjoy this summery Lochlea Harvest 3rd Crop, while Ramsay asks; when it comes to young malt - is peat a cheat?

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.

Dougie takes stock, shares where he's at and shares every sealed bottle he owns that's about to be cracked and reviewed. He starts with Aberlour's Cask Annamh Batch 0001.

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.

After not really trying much Lowland whisky, Hamish notes that today he's spoiled for choice. But what is Lowland? He sits with another Glasgow Small Batch release and Fergus joins in.

Self-declared Tomatin fanboy Broddy has a suspicion that we’re being fleeced; that quality is dropping and folk are being taken advantage of. Today, it’s poor ol’ Tomatin in his sights.
