Ogilvie has been starved of whisky choice recently, but a positive effect of this is a more curious mind. Which led hime to pick up a 14yo Invergordon official bottling. We’re intrigued!

After conquering his recent FOMO, Ramsay tries to banish his HAMO; Have Already Missed Out. Reviewing Clynelish - one of whisky's legends - makes him consider what's gone before.

The weather isn't enough to dampen Paisley's desire to return to a favourite Linkwood. She thinks it's the canny use of a refill cask that's made this bargain North Star release perfect for any season.

Weekend sorted: exploring the idea you can't screw up a Caol Ila, Tav earns a gold star by lining up 5 indy bangers and comparing them all to the classic official 12yo.

Wally celebrates Dramface being noticed and shares why he thinks that is, and it's a bit like the strategy that Fettercairn seems to be having a go at recently. He likes.

After a friend is confused by a sherry matured Craigellachie, Broddy is saddled with the task of assessing things. Facing impostor syndrome and another weird sherry cask, he does his best.

There’s not only some whisky and casks up for sale, but an entire distillery too. It’s been making malt for 20 years and there’s little interest. Ainsley and Earie investigate.

Justifying his love of Linkwood, Murdo lines up four differently matured takes on its malt, all indies and all teenagers. One in particular has him demand this Speysider be celebrated more.

Before pitching two big-hitting, and not inexpensive, Glen Garioch bottlings against each other, Doog decides to wait for his bad mood to pass.

Surprised by tales of woe and predictions of whisky doom and gloom, Ogilvie harnesses positivity in the bottle chase, and immediately steps out and snags himself a banger of a dusty ‘99 Glen Garioch

Earie reflects on his outlook coming in to 2024’s whisky space and, specifically, has to confess that he found it shocking he wasn’t shocked at paying £85 for a 14yo.

Not just a review from Broddy, but a confession. A reflection on what he’s buying: how many, how much is open, what producers and - how much he’s actually spent. Sobering indeed.

In response to the recent news that Gordon & Macphail will stop filling casks and bottling independently, Broddy picks up a couple of local G&M Distillery Labels series finds and cracks them in mild contemplation of what this significant news holds for malt whisky’s future.

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.

It’s a funny thing, whisky. Earie swoops with excitement as a bottle of his long-fabled Arran 14yo suddenly appears at retail, while Hamish revisits his old bottle to wonder what all the fuss is about.

Earie considers the Portuguese Selection from Tomatin something of a whisky blueprint.

Dodgy branding, good whisky

Port casks and celebrating those who get it right.

Liquid autumn.

Fun and interesting, but above all necessary
