Fergus makes a case for the occasional entry-level bottle. Accepting his penchant for natural ‘enthusiast’ whiskies he find a comforting spot for an Aberlour 12 Double Cask, while watching 80’s movies, preferably.

Dougie takes stock, shares where he's at and shares every sealed bottle he owns that's about to be cracked and reviewed. He starts with Aberlour's Cask Annamh Batch 0001.

Ogilvie admits that the enjoyment of a whisky - and the scoring of it - can all too easily be affected by emotion. And it should be.

Really great whisky. Unjustifiable price.

Perfect bottle design. Watery, inert whisky.
