After a horrific experience with Tasmanian whisky, Calder returns to his local stuff after significant inspiration from his favourite dram pairing; literature. He sets out with a Killara Port Cask.

Despite living at the opposite end of the planet, Calder dreams of the Sound of Islay and Bunnahabhain. Especially when it’s peaty. Here he reviews 3 guilty pleasure Fèis Ìle releases.

Calder returns with tales of Japanese exploration and an attempt to understand why a land of balance and harmony is so struck by Springbank, as he reviews last year's Palo Cortado 10yo.

With four separate Dramface appraisals, we uncover why this Lagavulin 16yo has been such a powerful ambassador for whisky, and the reasons why that can no longer be.

A Bowmore bromance, virtual bars & the power of whisky simpatico await.

Flashes of fantasia but fails to harmonise.
