Some new, cracking value, Glasgow 1770 Small Batch releases have dropped. Dougie leads a team up with Drummond and Wally to check out the Madeira and the Islay Cask. Don’t miss these.

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.
