Aengus is back. In reviewing the very latest release from Dr. Don’s Rye Cask Lot 40 Cask Strength - with a cherry wood finish - he tries to define the attributes of ‘cool’.

After a horrific experience with Tasmanian whisky, Calder returns to his local stuff after significant inspiration from his favourite dram pairing; literature. He sets out with a Killara Port Cask.

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.

Despite his youth, Broddy has a concern that whisky is at risk of becoming stuffy once more. Is that about age? Or age statements? As Shelter Point comes of age he shares his thoughts.

Eallair embarks on an American odyssey. One bottle at a time, he'll take us through a history - and a state of the nation - on everything American Single Malt. Pt.1 kicks off today with a Golden Moon.

Following up on his epic wine cask cheat-sheet feature, Ainsley treats us to a super-interesting French bargain banger matured in a - you guessed it - French wine cask.

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.

In a very interesting flavour piece we discover the reason for seeing so little of Aengus recently, he returns to share the parallels between whisky and coffee while reviewing a Kings County Peated Rye.

As Ramsay dips into an intriguing new English whisky from Bristol’s Circumstance, you only really need to read this: ”I have not tasted another three year old whisky as good as this.”

After being ruined for whisky in Campbeltown, Murdo promises his wife to not mention whisky for an entire European holiday. Only for her to lead him to La Maison Du in Paris, and a bottle of Vilanova.

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.

There’s not only some whisky and casks up for sale, but an entire distillery too. It’s been making malt for 20 years and there’s little interest. Ainsley and Earie investigate.

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.

In a breakaway move, the Dramface Colonials conspire at their water cooler, setting up their own splinter cell. Happily, it results in a virtual sipping session and collaborative review of this Baker’s 7 Bourbon.

In order to stave off the dreaded malt-fatigue and keep things fresh and exciting, Earie has found the perfect strategy, and a banger of a whisky too; Millstone’s Rye 10yo.

In typical Dramface style, Aengus and Broddy team up on a bottle split review to asses the winner of the Toronto Whisky Society’s blind panel competition; a Two Brewers Moscatel Release 36

In an effort to keep his palate and whisky fun as diverse as possible, Broddy tucks into some That-Boutiquey-Whisky-Company releases from Europe, including Austria, Switzerland Sweden and Finland.

Faced with a sea of repetitive, dull, expensive and uninspired Irish whiskey releases, a frustrated Hamish searches for a spark of inspiration to celebrate St Patrick’s and beyond.

The last thing Earie needs is more fuel for FOMO, but this time he’s on home turf. It’s different. Yet, instead of a biased review, what we actually read from this coming-of-age story is a sense of relief.

Despite a love and admiration for all things Japanese, Broddy feels burned by this sourced effort form Kaiyo, where a lot of effort has gone into producing something that’s very dull indeed. And expensive.
