Glasgow 1770 Peated PX Cask Strength
Adding to their Small Batch series, cult upstart Glasgow have found traction with Cask Strength 1770 releases. Hamish, Fergus and Tav buddy up on the latest Peated PX.
Scapa 10yo
Tav and Wally wade in together on a brand new Scapa. Now there’s something we don’t read too often. This one is the affordable 10 year old, and they both agree on something. The fruit!
Glasgow 1770 Marsala Cask
Tav turns up for a race feeling like he’s in the zone, he’s brought his A-game. Only to be left questioning his relationship with whisky. All with the backdrop of a 7 year old Glasgow Marsala cask banger.
Clynelish 14yo
After conquering his recent FOMO, Ramsay tries to banish his HAMO; Have Already Missed Out. Reviewing Clynelish - one of whisky's legends - makes him consider what's gone before.
Caol Ila 12yo vs 5 Indys
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.
Lochlea Harvest Edition
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?
Circumstance Organic Single Grain
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.”
Nc’Nean Rum Cask
Drummond, Ramsay and Hamish team up on a Nc’Nean British Rum Cask release, only to end up unintentionally positing the question; how much should a single cask of this age cost?
Thompson Bros North Highland 8yo
A take on budget whisky; Thompson Brothers style. An 8yo blended malt made up of Clynelish and Glen Ord. Ramsay delivers his thoughts and Wally can’t help but jump in with his. A full-on dual review.
Glen Scotia Campbeltown Festival 2024
As the 2024 Campbeltown Malts Festival 2024 draws near, Ramsay and Drummond buddy up for a popular modern malt, fairly priced and tasty, they celebrate ‘the good old days’ of right now.
Watt Whisky Spring 2024 Outturn
Ramsay and Fergus buddy up for a wander through the most recent outturn from Watt Whisky. Exploring a grain, a blend, two malts and a Guyana rum, they actually find some consensus!
Loch Lomond The Open Edition 2024
Hamish manages to (almost) avoid a smattering of golfing analogies as he uncorks Loch Lomond’s 2024, “The Open” release. It’s on the Chardonnay theme too; but not the yeast this time.
Glasgow 1770 Golden Beer Cask
Ramsay only really does two drinks; whisky and beer. This one should be right up his street, a golden beer finished whisky form Glasgow Distillery, cask strength and £64 too.
Benromach Cask Strength 2013
Do the right thing, by all means. Support, don’t judge. Because sometimes being a patient spendthrift, far away from a whisky shop, still uncovers things to reassure you that good stuff is still out there.
Ledaig 10yo vs Ledaig 10yo
Celebrating batch variation and reminding us that darker does not mean better, even if it does in this case. Tav tucks in to a crowd pleasing Ledaig 10yo comparison.
Glencadam 21yo
Saving a special bottle for a quiet moment, Ramsay swims in a dusty and now discontinued Glencadam 21yo while wondering if it’s worth reviewing hard-to-find bottles. We must Tav! We must!
Port Askaig Cask Strength
A team review is required around a new take on Elixir’s Port Askaig series and their first Cask Strength Small Batch. Wally leads with a deep dive into why we’re not drinking enough. Apparently.
Nc’Nean Single Malts Duo
In a Dramface first, we visit Nc’Nean. Two malts showcasing what they’re up to in sustainability and organic processes. Ramsay wonders if he’s missed anything, with a little help form Drummond.
Indri Drú Cask Strength
Like so many of us, Ramsay needed a little convincing that Indian whisky can exceed expectation. Nothing like some Indri blind tasting to set things straight then eh, Tav?
Glenfiddich 12yo, 15yo & 18yo
Always on the hunt for a bargain, Ramsay discovers the full Glenfiddich age-stated core range on offer, but he keeps his canny head on and plumps for the (also discounted) mini-selection pack instead. Blunderous or inspired?
