A nice segue on from yesterday’s article, Nick thinks about age statements with Ardnamurchan’s latest USA exclusive ArdnAmerica release. Cue NYC backdrops & deploy the Doog!

Betrayal; that of friends and family, but also the worst kind; that of distilleries! Drummond and Ainsley team up over some peaty Bunnahabhain Staoisha to discuss the fickle relationship.

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.

Future Broddy writes. Times change and priorities shift. With enough whisky to last him eight years, he's content. Then what? He chews it over with two Bunnahabhain Fèis Ìle releases.

Earie has a think about the annual Online Scotch Whisky Awards, premiumisation and why he can only enjoy a delicious Glenrothes through an indie.

The ever-vigilant Aengus asks an important question: Is Dramface drifting in its scoring? He fires up the data and dives in to find out... while enjoying a nice Balblair 15yo.

As autumn swings in and challenges us all to accept the changing of seasons, Fergus sits with two from one of his 'dirty' favourites: Edradour - an Un-chillfiltered vs a Straight from the Cask.

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.

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.

Hamish not only celebrates the ability to follow the birth of new distilleries, with these 8 Doors releases he enjoys how open and accessible they are too.

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.

Tyree returns. We cracked his sarcophagus, dusted him down and set him upon some Campbeltown bottles that were awaiting his attention. As usual, no punches are pulled.

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.

Trying to uncover the difference between ‘cask strength’ & ‘batch strength’ Paisley finds she doesn’t have it all figured out. She also finds a banger of a Kilchoman.

Another continental buddy up today as Earie and Ainsley pour over a trio of different takes on Ardmore while considering the pitfalls of brand loyalty.

Trusting his fellow Dramfacers, Broddy dives deep into the Glen Garioch rabbit hole (on discount - of course), but he chooses this 17yo to start with, and it does not go well.

A buddy up review on Armorik, a French single malt with a considerable age-statement and, it would seem, a considerably impressive offering. Earie and Ainsley see what France is offering these days.

Another new release has landed, this time a are thing indeed: a brand new Islay. Loaded with anticipation, Wally digs in to Ardnahoe - the latest peat-bomb to blow up the whisky scene.

Like a band that has sold out, Fergus felt abandoned by his favourite distillery. He took a long time to give Balblair another chance. But here it is. A head-to-head. Rebrand vs previous livery.

Very much enjoying the new release from Strathearn, Wally reflects upon the producers and stewards in scotch whisky who actually care about the product and its legacy.
