Ainsley returns from his first visit to Glasgow, low on health and finances, but high on life. He shares why; but needs to pull Wally in for a review of a special Glasgow oloroso single cask.

How to convey the breathless experience of the world’s Largest Whisky Show? We send in Ainsley. Who seems to drink the time of his life. Oh, and a lesser-seen Balmenach review, for value.

Dougie becomes cynical of super-dark whiskies. Not content with an inability to see the true colour of the Tyndrum Ardnamurchan single cask, he decants first, then reviews.

Another milestone is reached and Kingsbarns release an 8yo Distillery Reserve at cask strength. Is it any good though? Well, Wally is offered a bottle but deflects it to Skye. Step up Dougie.

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.

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.

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.

In a buddy up review Gilbert and Ramsay enjoy this summery Lochlea Harvest 3rd Crop, while Ramsay asks; when it comes to young malt - is peat a cheat?

Continuing our quiet nod to Ardnamurchan's 10 years making whisky, Nick chimes in with a 5yo oloroso Single Cask Nation bottling. But would he invite it to dinner?

Feeling the pressure of critiquing things fairly, Wally sinks a dram or two of epic Ardnamurchan and has a think about the blowback that those who do it right may suffer, simply due to being praised.

As Ardnamurchan turns 10 years old, Drummond dives into their recent Golden Promise release single cask; the one for the George Hotel in Inveraray. To suggest he likes it is an understatement.

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 a tough few weeks, we hear why we’ve heard little from Ogie, and he’s been through the wringer. However, after a dusty find via his thoughtful son, this BenRiach sets him back on his feet.

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.”

Feeling very grateful that he was able to find stock of Kilkerran’s latest 8yo Cask Strength, Earie celebrates the many retailers that choose to stick to MSRP, and what that actually means.

The Dougie Crystal Blend. A meticulous, carefully crafted plan to create the best possible blend, was quickly tossed out the window as the giddiness of eight cask strength bangers took hold.

Once in a while Dramface tries to break the whisky internet. This time it’s Broddy’s attempt as he tries all the sherry, alongside associated whiskies. As a noob. And shares it blow by blow. What a session!

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.

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.
