Innes gets giddy while visiting the hidden gem that is Glen Scotia. Full of the distillery-visit-glow, he snags two single casks to compare with a favourite at home, wondering why it’s still ‘hidden’.

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.

Ogilvie reaches for an Inchmurrin, liking it to his favourite comfy sweater, only to discover someone has swapped it out for a polyester t-shirt one size too small.

As the 2024 Campbeltown Malts Festival 2024 draws near, Ramsay and Drummond buddy up for a popular modern malt, fairly priced and tasty, they celebrate ‘the good old days’ of right now.

Hamish manages to (almost) avoid a smattering of golfing analogies as he uncorks Loch Lomond’s 2024, “The Open” release. It’s on the Chardonnay theme too; but not the yeast this time.

Wally puts the case forward for something compellingly unique as he considers how much influence ‘influencers’ actually have.
