A man struck by strong branding and potent design, Dougie spots something that isn’t whisky - as he knows it. But it is £32.50, so he fires in to explore Port of Leith’s ‘Table Whisky’.

With so much choice for enthusiasts to explore today, our canny - and occasionally miserly - Hamish is drawn to a bargain Thompson Bros Circumstance that has the airwaves chattering.

Bristol is one of Europe’s culture capitals. Today, it also has a distillery who are determined to do things wildly different. Fergus gambles on an Organic Single Grain and cashes in on flavour.

As Murdo tells tales of travel and opening minds, he shares his take on three very rare and curious 'whiskies', while taking us through his life-long dream realised: a trip to North Korea.

Realising that Canada is making field-to-grain expressions, Broddy and Aengus team up to share the knowledge on Shelter Point’s Montfort, because these are different; these are unmalted Canadians.

Wally tackles what he believes to be the most appealing and interesting inaugural release since Daftmill. But there’s a problem, and you already know what it is. Shame, ‘cause this reads like a cracker.

Dramface takes on a six bottle outturn from Watt Whisky, it’s a team effort. Two single malts, a blended malt, a blend, a single grain and a curious Bas Armagnac. No wonder the images are blurry.

It seems we’ve discovered the next rabbit hole that threatens to swallow our Doog for a while - that of Single Grain. Old, decadent, tasty and fairly priced stuff too.

Malt? Or grain? Wally tries to decipher the latest release form Loch Lomond’s fascinatingly geeky Distillery Edition series, which isn’t quite as easy as it at first may seem.

Dougie is caught trolling the dying embers of the auctions once more for bargains. What’s this he’s found? A very curious SMWS oddball he needs to decipher first, both in description and flavour. We suspect he’s hit the rye wall once more.

Trash or treasure? Well, that depends hugely on the whisky, but also very much upon who we are and what we like. This is certainly Broddy’s trash, so is it Wally’s treasure? Strap in.

Since so many of them are still around, Tyree gives an overview, with his own take on Diageo’s annual Special Releases

Five malts and a rum — for drinking

Something for all tastes

Dramming out to a Holyrood Quartet is music to my tastebuds
