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…

Bristol is one of Europe’s culture capitals. Today, it also has a distillery who are determined to do things wildly different. Fergus gambles on an Organic Single Grain and cashes in on flavour.

As autumn swings in and challenges us all to accept the changing of seasons, Fergus sits with two from one of his 'dirty' favourites: Edradour - an Un-chillfiltered vs a Straight from the Cask.

In an exploration of tasting all the things that no one should really be able to taste, Fergus reviews Laphroaig's 16. He finds all the usual notes with this one, and some crazy talk too.

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.

In doing a little bottle dusting, turning and stock taking of his 100 bottle collection, Fergus makes a stark realisation. When it comes to rabbit holes, he’s not been down enough. Bimber to the rescue.

A triple review of a recent Glasgow Small Batch cask strength bargain; whisky provided by the distillery for Hamish and Fergus, but Doog buys his own. An interesting three-way take.

Determined not to succumb to snobbery, Fergus takes an active step to try a less-footered with Jura, this time a natural 46% Hunter Laing 8yo.

Fergus shares one of his summertime permashelf bottles; Compass Box’s Orchard House. He also offers one or two others that match it quite well, especially alongside a fruity IPA.

An impromptu play-date offers Fergus the chance to evangelise to a new whisky-curious pal. On discovering he likes smoke, a 61.3% Cask Strength Caol Ila is the hammer chosen. Let’s see how that went down.

Ramsay and Fergus buddy up for a wander through the most recent outturn from Watt Whisky. Exploring a grain, a blend, two malts and a Guyana rum, they actually find some consensus!

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.

After finding nothing on the television, Fergus finds nothing in the Whisky Shop. But he’s one of us, so he leaves with 5 bottles including a brand new InchDairnie exclusive. He seems pleased.

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.

Our Dramface debutant today shares his passion for music with an appropriate release form Turntable; their malt-heavy and affordable Paradise Funk. It’s Fergus’ call as to whether it’s killer, filler or grower.
