Faced with some recent difficulty, Wally evaluates a thing he leans upon to bring comfort and optimism. Catharsis comes through the lens of an affordable, available Campbeltown sparkler.

Murdo is invited to present interesting whiskies to a group of wine lovers, searching for bold flavours and hooks, he makes a slight error skips this beautiful Glentauchers from Signatory.

After some self-indulgent discussions via the Dramface podcast, Murdo weighs in with his own takes; on writing, scoring and responsibility, while enjoying a very rare Bruichladdich.

Eallair embarks on an American odyssey. One bottle at a time, he'll take us through a history - and a state of the nation - on everything American Single Malt. Pt.1 kicks off today with a Golden Moon.

As a lover of Deanston and their famous waxy and floral character, Murdo hits an obstacle; the complexity of casks gets in the way of simply enjoying one of his favourites.

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 marks the 1,000th review on Dramface with an origin story, gratitude and a humble but potent release from Wire Works, their new core range Bourbon Barrel.

Drummond finds something of an excellent teleporter in this Glen Scotia 15yo, which takes him all the way back to Campbeltown. He teleports in Broddy and Dougie to share a dram too.

A very specific whisky is called for as three old friends gather in support of each other. In the face of acute loss, Ogilvie calls upon Balvenie's classic 12yo Doublewood to assist in catharsis.

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.

In doing a little bottle dusting, turning and stock taking of his 100 bottle collection, Fergus makes a stark realisation. When it comes to rabbit holes, he’s not been down enough. Bimber to the rescue.

In another Dramface Friday First, we’re introduced to Innes, who has a soft spot for Auchentoshan, but not without quibble. Here he compares two. They’re indies. Of course they are.

Dougie remains committed to mining the rich purple seam of Glen Garioch. This time it’s a Cadehead’s 12yo . A 20cl bottle that, on first sip, sends him back for a full 70cl. Maybe two.

Warning. Nick will likely score this harshly. After a life-changing Ben Nevis epiphany, nothing has matched since. Tyree steps in to help on this Blackadder Ingelred 18yo.

A take on budget whisky; Thompson Brothers style. An 8yo blended malt made up of Clynelish and Glen Ord. Ramsay delivers his thoughts and Wally can’t help but jump in with his. A full-on dual review.

Paisley declares her love for her adopted hometown of Glasgow, choosing two pours which adorn the city’s most iconic and infamous image; the traffic cone atop the Duke.

Our Linkwood exploration continues, this time heading back to the 1990s with a Signatory and a Cadenhead’s head-to-head, which also gives Ainsley pause to consider the role of ABV.

Free stuff isn’t common on Dramface; each writer usually buys their own whisky. So when Earie sifts through an entire outturn via Dràm Mòr provided samples, he takes a moment to justify it.

All it took was a strange word and a stranger distillery for Hamish to take a punt on the lesser-seen Balmenach, arguably one of the most obscure - despite its scale and cracking, weighty malt.

Wally takes some time with Torabhaig’s latest in the Legacy Series; the sherry cask influenced Cnoc Na Moine. While he’s at it he dips into a little Scots Gaelic revival history.
