Talisker 8yo 2024 Special Release

Ardnamurchan Golden Promise Cask 1062
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.
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.

Very much enjoying the new release from Strathearn, Wally reflects upon the producers and stewards in scotch whisky who actually care about the product and its legacy.

Wally talks himself in and out of liking this release as he struggles with the cost and the direction of things, all the while realising this is the best Bruichladdich he remembers tasting.
Invergordon 25yo
How might we view this mature yet affordable whisky in the future? Wally decides it needs to be celebrated now - before it’s gone and relegated to a nostalgic recollection of what once was possible.
