Tyree returns with some deep thoughts on expertise, enthusiasts, ‘Big Whisky’ and black boxes. Fascinating. He finishes off with a flourish and a beautiful 1990s Benrinnes. Welcome back fella.

Warning. Nick will likely score this harshly. After a life-changing Ben Nevis epiphany, nothing has matched since. Tyree steps in to help on this Blackadder Ingelred 18yo.

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.

Taking a broad view of the rapidly expanding Australian whisky scene, Tyree delivers a snapshot with four Aussie single malts, and almost uses the full gamut of our scoring to do so.

Sharing his future dreams, Tyree gives us a snapshot into why he loves why as he does, and how this will likely define his life trajectory. Oh, and the small issue of a near perfect dram too.

A self-declared fan of Dr Barrie, Tyree steals some bottles from his workplace to share his take on the recent rebrand of Brown-Forman’s Glenglassaugh. Will our fan of the experienced blender still be as enamoured after a glass or two?

Every now and then Tyree is prone to rant. We all are. Every now and then he says pretty much what we all feel too. What’s the rant? It’s the cost of it. Of course it is.

Ever wondered about the Angel’s Share? What it actually is and what it does to whisky? Well, inspired by a cask strength 24yo Imperial at 42.9%, Tyree goes full nutty professor on us to share all.

Here we have Tyree’s case for Ardbeg’s Bizarrebq, specifically that despite cheesy ads and contrived ideas, perhaps we have a special release from Ardbeg worthy of it’s price tag.

It may be the height of summer for us ‘up North’, but for Tyree it’s time for crackling fires, clean sherry-bombs, and time to reflect upon the things that matter.

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.

Wait! Not whisky? But this is Dramface! Yes, but this is also Tyree, and what we learn about whisky through his eyes and experiences is valuable indeed.

In the face of rising prices for Islay brands Tyree considers a trio of Elements of Islay blended malts from Elixir Distillers. Initially not expecting very much, he ends up pretty impressed.

As a community of enthusiasts, we can often dismiss so many long-established, mass-market releases. Tyree compares two Glen Grant bottlings with a nod to the craft involved in maintaining consistency.

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!

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.

After giving Ardbeg’s latest Committee Release a kicking, Tyree reached out to Adamh, who kicked it harder. The bonus review refocusses on positivity but Ardbeg need to do better than this for £120

Since so many of them are still around, Tyree gives an overview, with his own take on Diageo’s annual Special Releases

Tyree tries to de-mystify the art of blending to replicate an elusive Japanese malt without breaking the bank.
