Wally marks the 1,000th review on Dramface with an origin story, gratitude and a humble but potent release from Wire Works, their new core range Bourbon Barrel.

Wally celebrates Dramface being noticed and shares why he thinks that is, and it's a bit like the strategy that Fettercairn seems to be having a go at recently. He likes.

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.

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.

Wally takes some time with Torabhaig’s latest in the Legacy Series; the sherry cask influenced Cnoc Na Moine. While he’s at it he dips into a little Scots Gaelic revival history.

The mule network kicks in to share mature Union Distillery malt with Ainsley in Paris and Wally in Scotland. Both tear into a surprising and well-priced 16yo cracker from Brazil.

In celebrating their local wildlife, Ardnamurchan decided to fly with the Midgie. So despite bearing the name of Scotland’s most hated creature, it still proves popular as a swarm of us gather to review it.

Prompted by the team, Wally reconnects with Linkwood, and this Thompson Bros 13yo makes Wally contemplate just how much trust revolves around the Whiskyverse, and why it’s vital.

A brand new whisky appears, from a brand new Lowland distillery, and Wally barely noticed it. Fully natural and £45 too. Time to have a look into Edinburgh’s whisky renaissance.

Prepare for a dose of FOMO as Wally waxes lyrical about another banger from Glengyle’s Kilkerran. He says, despite all the defiance and fighting to get there - they’ve released their best yet.

Another new release has landed, this time a are thing indeed: a brand new Islay. Loaded with anticipation, Wally digs in to Ardnahoe - the latest peat-bomb to blow up the whisky scene.

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.

Knowing it’s pretty difficult to get a Springbank Local Barley, Wally goes ahead with a review anyway; to share his theories, but also just to say thanks.

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.

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.

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.

How can Wally admit to loving a bottle and yet score it 3/10? It’s complex, but in this case he thinks Diageo have made it a big, confusing, opaque and cynical mess - for retailers and punters.

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.

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.

With so many whiskies being released it’s hard to keep up. Wally spends an entire article making excuses while admitting to the new normal; solid, reliable, tasty whiskies. Predictable but reassuring, like these new Glenallachie Meikle Tòir releases.
