To realise that today’s review is not whisky and not read it would be a mistake. Broddy is emphatically excited about this Anokha and, on theme recently, he’s asking us to look twice at this spirit.

Ogilvie has a problem; he’s running out of variety. With a ‘mere’ 34 bottles he feels the need to fortify things. He discovers a bottled-in-bond Holladay Wheated Bourbon...

One of the original Dramfacers, Aengus is looking over his whisky and realising most of it, like this Alberta Premium, is high ABV. What happened?

Through an auction win, Earie is sucked into the fascinating history and story behind the great Silvano Samaroli, as he realises just how influential he was in the scotch story.

Japanese whiskies are like buses, none and then two at once. Today Charlie picks up what we believe to be Japanese, but this Kamiki Blended Malt is not from oak.

Ainsley waves a flag for Japanese whisky, suggesting we place it on our radars once more, just don’t overpay & perhaps don’t start with this Tsunuki from Mars.

In grabbing an anticipated Batch 2 of Ardnamurchan’s Madeira Cask release, Wally decides to compare it to something that you might not expect. Building Lego. Specifically; post-2004 Lego.

We all have our cask-type and profile preferences, but today Charlie argues the case for keeping your mind open with a Tamdhu Batch Strength and avoid getting caught out restricting yourself.

Did our challenging times during Lockdown actually offer us a few silver linings? Murdo offers a few possible examples which endure for him today, including discovering this knockout Cadenhead’s Linkwood.

Another debut for Dramface. Hughie, through multiple false starts, eventually falls for whisky, but not through the ‘typical’ route. His vibe is the off-piste flavour hooks & this Loch Lomond 12yo brings it.

Prompted by lifestyle, environs and a recent piece by the youngest of the Dramface crew, Nick goes offline and takes time to appreciate life’s more contemplative pleasures; like Longrow Red.

Wally manages to comfortably pick up a bottle of the latest Kilkerran Cask Strength; in ex-bourbs too. But what’s this? Does he actually miss the madness of the old bottle-chasing days?

Probably the most under-the-radar of all scotch single malts, yet it’s been around long enough to produce a 10yo. Charlie made a pilgrimage to the most westerly of them all: Abhainn Dearg. Worth it?

Some days are tougher than others; even for a suit in a courtroom. Our resident lawyer sits with his concerned neighbour after a tough day and leans on a generous Old Forester 1910 for his catharsis.

Another Dramface debut! This time it’s a Scot who, due to his ancestry, has a particular passion for Bruichladdich, and this Micro-provenance Single Cask is one of his favourites. And a bit different.

In the 3rd part of his epic tale of American Single Malt, Eallair invites Bourbon to enter the chat. Fascinating history and insight join a review of New Riff’s Sour Mash Single Malt. Epic stuff!

A memorable label was etched into Ogilvie’s mind & one day he finally found a St George’s Baller; an American ode to Japanese whisky. Therein he discovers one of his most challenging pours he’s ever tried.

Fergie evaluates the risks in paying considerably more for small-scale ‘artisanal’ products. In doing so he compares a recently acquired Daftmill to his beloved custom-made Dobro.

Broddy discovers a nearby Canadian distillery doing everything all the right way, with local ingredients and an ingenious still set up. He dives in with both feet, buying four bottles at once. How does he fare?

How’s your Friday? Fancy a vivid trip to the west coast of Scotland on a moonlit night? Doog, literally, takes you there. With a nice SMWS single malt too.
