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.

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.

Despite living at the opposite end of the planet, Calder dreams of the Sound of Islay and Bunnahabhain. Especially when it’s peaty. Here he reviews 3 guilty pleasure Fèis Ìle releases.

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.

What happens when you win at a whisky auction then don't pay up? Doog finds out. Being something of a sniper these days, he also finds a bargain Glasgow 5yo banger by Finn Thomson.

After a sublime whisky-fuelled tasting event hosted by J&A Mitchell in Paris, Ainsley is inspired to crack open his smoky Kilkerran and usher in cooler evenings. Nice insider info here.

Life brings change, but it also brings whisky. Sometimes really good whisky. As Paisley returns home to reflections and resets, she finds comfort in a young but cracking Bunnahabhain Staoisha.

Tracing back his Ardmore love to when he was an (illegal) teen, Nick compares two modern takes from industry insiders turned indy bottlers: James Eadie and The Firkin Whisky Co.

After a Dramface deluge of Ardnamurchan in recent days, Broddy expedites a single cask he's had on hand for a while and takes a slightly different perspective.

In an exploration of tasting all the things that no one should really be able to taste, Fergus reviews Laphroaig's 16. He finds all the usual notes with this one, and some crazy talk too.

Some things turn out better than we expect, as Ainsley discovers with the recent Olympics. So, after smuggling some back from a trip, how about this rum finished Cù Bòcan?

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.

In a very interesting flavour piece we discover the reason for seeing so little of Aengus recently, he returns to share the parallels between whisky and coffee while reviewing a Kings County Peated Rye.

Dramface: Who’d you like to collab with on the Longrow: Broddy, Nick, Ogilvie, Tyree, Aengus or Calder?
Eallair: “Yes”.
An epic Dramface collective review on an iconic bottle.

In celebrating their local wildlife, Ardnamurchan decided to fly with the Midgie. So despite bearing the name of Scotland’s most hated creature, it still proves popular as a swarm of us gather to review it.

An impromptu play-date offers Fergus the chance to evangelise to a new whisky-curious pal. On discovering he likes smoke, a 61.3% Cask Strength Caol Ila is the hammer chosen. Let’s see how that went down.

After finding nothing on the television, Fergus finds nothing in the Whisky Shop. But he’s one of us, so he leaves with 5 bottles including a brand new InchDairnie exclusive. He seems pleased.

Faced with a sea of repetitive, dull, expensive and uninspired Irish whiskey releases, a frustrated Hamish searches for a spark of inspiration to celebrate St Patrick’s and beyond.

A collab is required as Broddy and Drummond both review what we believe to be some of the best value all-natural whiskies about right now. Benromach Peat smoke time.
