A recent trip through Heathrow’s travel retail leaves Drummond uninspired, so he grabs a solid bottle from Deanston he picked up for a song, back when GTR (as it’s known) was a little more interesting.

Not just a review from Broddy, but a confession. A reflection on what he’s buying: how many, how much is open, what producers and - how much he’s actually spent. Sobering indeed.

Earie takes a wander through the Dram Mòr Autumn/Winter releases 2023 and discovers a solid turnout, but one of them knocks him clean off his feet.

Rolling with some good fortune at auction, Drummond snags an 18yo expression from his loved Glengoyne and finds it very tasty, yet confesses to not replacing. Why could that be?

As life throws Ogilvie challenges he adopts his “bunker mentality”. Drawing him out of it are two companions, one life-long and one much more recent. This is a feel-good whisky review.
