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.

After not really trying much Lowland whisky, Hamish notes that today he's spoiled for choice. But what is Lowland? He sits with another Glasgow Small Batch release and Fergus joins in.

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.

A triple review of a recent Glasgow Small Batch cask strength bargain; whisky provided by the distillery for Hamish and Fergus, but Doog buys his own. An interesting three-way take.

As Ramsay dips into an intriguing new English whisky from Bristol’s Circumstance, you only really need to read this: ”I have not tasted another three year old whisky as good as this.”

An epic reflection on a year of upheaval, Dougie reviews the new release of the bottle that seemed to help catapult his move out West. Ardnamurchan’s Paul Launois 4th release.

We all love a bargain, but Nick takes extra pleasure when this Costco Kirkland Islay bargain punches above its weight and proves a popular choice for befuddling his blind tasting pals.

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.
