Breaking his bottle ban (he can’t help himself, we can all relate) Earie picks up a rarely-spotted peat and sherry Bladnoch. Was it worth the potential wrath of his significant other?

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’.

Broddy’s favourite distillery, Millstone, collides with his favourite sherry cask, just as the owner is hosting tastings in his local retailers, but it’s his wife’s birthday. We know what happens, don’t we.

Adding to their Small Batch series, cult upstart Glasgow have found traction with Cask Strength 1770 releases. Hamish, Fergus and Tav buddy up on the latest Peated PX.

Dougie becomes cynical of super-dark whiskies. Not content with an inability to see the true colour of the Tyndrum Ardnamurchan single cask, he decants first, then reviews.

Some new, cracking value, Glasgow 1770 Small Batch releases have dropped. Dougie leads a team up with Drummond and Wally to check out the Madeira and the Islay Cask. Don’t miss these.

Despite living at the opposite end of the planet, Calder dreams of the Sound of Islay and Bunnahabhain. Especially when it’s peaty. Here he reviews 3 guilty pleasure Fèis Ìle releases.

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.

After some self-indulgent discussions via the Dramface podcast, Murdo weighs in with his own takes; on writing, scoring and responsibility, while enjoying a very rare Bruichladdich.

What happens when you win at a whisky auction then don't pay up? Doog finds out. Being something of a sniper these days, he also finds a bargain Glasgow 5yo banger by Finn Thomson.

After a sublime whisky-fuelled tasting event hosted by J&A Mitchell in Paris, Ainsley is inspired to crack open his smoky Kilkerran and usher in cooler evenings. Nice insider info here.

Life brings change, but it also brings whisky. Sometimes really good whisky. As Paisley returns home to reflections and resets, she finds comfort in a young but cracking Bunnahabhain Staoisha.

Tracing back his Ardmore love to when he was an (illegal) teen, Nick compares two modern takes from industry insiders turned indy bottlers: James Eadie and The Firkin Whisky Co.

After a Dramface deluge of Ardnamurchan in recent days, Broddy expedites a single cask he's had on hand for a while and takes a slightly different perspective.

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.

Some things turn out better than we expect, as Ainsley discovers with the recent Olympics. So, after smuggling some back from a trip, how about this rum finished Cù Bòcan?

After a tough few weeks, we hear why we’ve heard little from Ogie, and he’s been through the wringer. However, after a dusty find via his thoughtful son, this BenRiach sets him back on his feet.

In a very interesting flavour piece we discover the reason for seeing so little of Aengus recently, he returns to share the parallels between whisky and coffee while reviewing a Kings County Peated Rye.

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.

In celebrating their local wildlife, Ardnamurchan decided to fly with the Midgie. So despite bearing the name of Scotland’s most hated creature, it still proves popular as a swarm of us gather to review it.
