Logan succumbs to his life-long nemesis; FOMO. Having been tempted into sinking a £100 on a bottle of Daftmill, he’s left feeling a little underwhelmed and forced into learning yet another life-lesson.

Dougie takes another look at Glasgow 1770 with two releases: their Unpeated Cognac Cask Finish and Manzanilla Sherry Cask Fully Matured. In them he finds how a few key decisions made well can swing the opinion of many.

A recent awakening to another very interesting new distillery, in his own backyard no less, has Drummond realising we are bearing witness to a grand natural experiment, and it’s yielding great results.

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.

Dramface takes on a six bottle outturn from Watt Whisky, it’s a team effort. Two single malts, a blended malt, a blend, a single grain and a curious Bas Armagnac. No wonder the images are blurry.

Amazing gestures of generosity place Doog in the possession of two much celebrated special releases from Loch Lomond; the XL Fermentation DE3 goes up against Aqvavitae’s 2022 release.

Dougie is caught trolling the dying embers of the auctions once more for bargains. What’s this he’s found? A very curious SMWS oddball he needs to decipher first, both in description and flavour. We suspect he’s hit the rye wall once more.

Suddenly faced with inevitable doubts ahead of upheaval and a grand move ‘out west’, Dougie salves himself with catharsis through family, friendship, heel-slaying, another trip to Skye and a glass of surprisingly good Lowland Lagg.

Something’s broken. This 47% ABV release from Auchentoshan has Wally drinking his whisky straight from the freezer.

In what’s becoming something of a theme on Dramface, we have another auction success story, this time three of ‘em, as Broddy steals a trio of pretty Wemyss single casks.

Blending whisky is a genuine art form that demands maximum respect. Dougie signed up to try a session himself in Campbeltown. From lunch to jelly legs, he takes us vividly along.
