Feeling very grateful that he was able to find stock of Kilkerran’s latest 8yo Cask Strength, Earie celebrates the many retailers that choose to stick to MSRP, and what that actually means.

Dramface: Who’d you like to collab with on the Longrow: Broddy, Nick, Ogilvie, Tyree, Aengus or Calder?
Eallair: “Yes”.
An epic Dramface collective review on an iconic bottle.

Tyree returns. We cracked his sarcophagus, dusted him down and set him upon some Campbeltown bottles that were awaiting his attention. As usual, no punches are pulled.

Prepare for a dose of FOMO as Wally waxes lyrical about another banger from Glengyle’s Kilkerran. He says, despite all the defiance and fighting to get there - they’ve released their best yet.

Ainsley wonders three things as he sips the 2023 Festival Blend from J&A Mitchell: is 2024 finally the year of the blend?, isn’t grain whisky basically vodka?, and why are people paying £180 for a cheap sipper?

Fed up with grey days and bad news, Fletcher cracks open two well-aged blends on a budget to see if they can bring a little lightness. A Glenallachie made NacNair’s 21yo vs a Cadenhead’s 25yo.

Swinging in with a quick sequel and an expensive trophy, Nick is so impressed with this batch of Springbank’s 12yo that he’s already (almost) forgotten just how much he handed over for the privilege.

For those of us living in the wider Scotch Whisky diaspora, we often must experience Campbeltown’s mythical spirits vicariously through others. In Ogilvie’s latest, he tracks down two of the Wee Toon’s Blended Malts in this side by side comparison.

Knowing it’s pretty difficult to get a Springbank Local Barley, Wally goes ahead with a review anyway; to share his theories, but also just to say thanks.

Reflecting on the recent OSWA nominations, Earie argues that, just because something is obvious, shouldn’t mean it’s discounted. He posits that this, the Springbank 10yo, is a benchmark.

How much would you expect to pay for 30 year old whisky in 2023? Ramsay was pleasantly surprised when it came to this Cadenhead’s value prospect, but he wobbled before opening it… for our pleasure.

In the search for a good value bottle Wally finds the Campbeltown Loch from J&A Mitchell most agreeable, but he’d just like a little help to more easily determine which one he’s drinking.

A love affair with Campbeltown Whiskies, gone cold, warms again for Ramsay with a lucky find of his beloved Kilkerran 16yo. Is this 2023 recipe departure enough to reignite the romance?

When entering ballots for a whisky you can often face difficult odds - and difficult questions. Broddy gets lucky in his province for a Kilkerran Cask Strength Sherry and shares his thoughts on how he came to get it as well as the bottle itself.

Tyree in full flight at his laser-powered and cutting best. Nothing’s off limits when it comes to this hype-antidote piece. Not for the feint hearted or easily offended.

In an extremely insightful sharing of much information, Tyree shares, to an exact degree, the what, when and where of his tasting routines. He picks two 10 year old Springers to do so, the Local Barley and a core release. We’re off to clean our teeth!

Ramsay throws some cheeky auction bids towards replacing his fast-disappearing bourbon cask 2023 Kilkerran and is shocked by the results.

If we’re going to blindly chase bottles based on reputation alone, measured and as-objective-as-possible critique is crucial. Enter Tyree vs some mature Longrow. Fussiness expected.

Tyree holds up another bottle of unobtanium and offers an alternative.
