One of the original Dramfacers, Aengus is looking over his whisky and realising most of it, like this Alberta Premium, is high ABV. What happened?

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’.

The ever-vigilant Aengus asks an important question: Is Dramface drifting in its scoring? He fires up the data and dives in to find out... while enjoying a nice Balblair 15yo.

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.

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

Aengus is back, and he puts forward his case for an award-winning 19yo Canadian ‘whisky’ that, due to the Canadian 1/11 rule, most purists would declare a cocktail. Still sounds good though.

Our resident Canadians, Aengus and Broddy, get together and get excited over a bottle split of rye whisky. Let’s just say they went Dutch.

Enjoying your booze this week? This has been handled gently but it’s no less hard hitting. For some, perhaps not easy to read. As you hear about two legendary Canadian bottlings, awareness is crucial.

Someone has to run a marathon in order for Aengus to finally discover a rye that he thinks will not only turn Broddy to look towards the devil’s grain, but Gregor too.

A surprise drop of Canadian Rye has Aengus’ trigger finger twitching. He knows he could be disappointed, he knows some facts will be hidden, yet he can’t help himself. He wants so much for Canadian whisky to be great. Will a port cask do the trick?

Where on earth has our long lost Aengus McCloud been? Well, Scotland, as it turns out. Specifically, Deanston and Benromach. He bought souvenirs to share with us too.

A loyal fan of the Canadian whisky scene, Aengus asks if there’s a genuine lack of interest from the TradCan producers to make anything remotely interesting for enthusiasts, that isn’t meant to be kept in a glass ‘collection’ cabinet.

A Dramface Collective Mega-review, an ode to the Springbank 15yo

Nice bottle, nice nose, mediocre palate

Boring whisky your Canadian uncle will love

A nicely balanced dram from Canada’s west coast

A decent rye/barley mélange, but lacks grip

Well-dressed for the party, but the conversation is dull

Sometimes you gotta go to America to get the best of Canada

Peated whisky from the land of the midnight sun
