Upon discovering Borders’ under-the-radar inaugural release for £35, Fletch gets excited, but is immediately disappointed and takes a moment to offer some ‘feedback’. Oh dear.

In order to stave off the dreaded malt-fatigue and keep things fresh and exciting, Earie has found the perfect strategy, and a banger of a whisky too; Millstone’s Rye 10yo.

Wally tackles what he believes to be the most appealing and interesting inaugural release since Daftmill. But there’s a problem, and you already know what it is. Shame, ‘cause this reads like a cracker.

Our resident Canadians, Aengus and Broddy, get together and get excited over a bottle split of rye whisky. Let’s just say they went Dutch.

Enjoying your booze this week? This has been handled gently but it’s no less hard hitting. For some, perhaps not easy to read. As you hear about two legendary Canadian bottlings, awareness is crucial.

What at first seemed like an expensive souvenir from a distillery visit required a bottle split between Archie and Hamish. They soon realise with 66% ABV and incredible depth of flavour they should’ve maybe grabbed one each.

Someone has to run a marathon in order for Aengus to finally discover a rye that he thinks will not only turn Broddy to look towards the devil’s grain, but Gregor too.

A surprise drop of Canadian Rye has Aengus’ trigger finger twitching. He knows he could be disappointed, he knows some facts will be hidden, yet he can’t help himself. He wants so much for Canadian whisky to be great. Will a port cask do the trick?

The crossroads where gimmick meets interesting results

A decent rye/barley mélange, but lacks grip

It’s the difficult Second Album from Shortcross…or is it?

Sometimes you gotta go to America to get the best of Canada

From standard expressions through to unique bottlings, there’s a lot to love about Crown Royal.

Looks fantastic, sounds fantastic, is very much not fantastic
