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.

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.

We live in a era of privilege, witnessing the coming of age of brand new whiskies and new things to love. Doog tries Ardnamurchan at ten years old and recounts his fall into complete fandom.

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.

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.

Free stuff isn’t common on Dramface; each writer usually buys their own whisky. So when Earie sifts through an entire outturn via Dràm Mòr provided samples, he takes a moment to justify it.

Dougie marvels at whisky’s way of bringing distant folk together. Over a particularly delicious Little Brown Dog bottling of Glenwyvis, he enjoys some sunny Skye time with a new soul mate.

The say distance makes the heart go fonder. Dougie returns to Ardnamurchan’s fair whisky shores after a long break and discovers what’s inside this 5 year old Unpeated Golden Promise Barley expression.

Let’s hand this tease over to the author; “But I reckon I’ve been blindsided by this ‘single cask’ truth and it’s making me wonder if anything is what it seems anymore.” Doog uncovers untruths…

Amazing gestures of generosity place Doog in the possession of two much celebrated special releases from Loch Lomond; the XL Fermentation DE3 goes up against Aqvavitae’s 2022 release.

A rare visit to Dramface towers from Dallas, as he shares his thoughts on Ballindalloch. It’s a story he’s followed from the start. He compares three of their releases to others who choose to move perhaps a little too early.

A buddy-up review is required as Drummond and Dougie both have their beloved Ardna from rum casks to discuss. This wide but limited release is no doubt on a few Santa lists this year.

Dougie tackles two Ardnamurchan releases with an emotional perspective on Doddie Weir and his legacy. Hankies at the ready.

An awful day made great by brilliant whisky.
