Murdo finds an ‘interesting’ whisky in this 20yo Inchgower but also shares an ‘interesting’ business model which understandably, prevents him from shopping local.

While hearing about an absolute cracker of a lesser-seen Miltonduff, we get to know some secrets about Murdo and his other passions beyond what fits in a Glencairn. Fascinating.

Pitching two Benromach Organic releases against each other, one bottled in 2014 the other distilled in 2014, gives Broddy an opportunity to compare and contrast, and take stock of time.

Visiting a brick-and-mortar whisky shop, with best intentions, Broddy tries to use up some time while not using up any money. He fails and blows a fortune, but uncovers an absolute banger.

Ramsay and Fergus buddy up for a wander through the most recent outturn from Watt Whisky. Exploring a grain, a blend, two malts and a Guyana rum, they actually find some consensus!

It’s about addiction, but not the addiction you’re thinking of. Murdo shares some confessions as he reviews an SMWS Craigellachie 17yo. Some of us might find this difficult reading.

We all like intensity and focus, but what about when we just need something functional to ‘get it done’? Drummond makes the case for an under-the-radar Càrn Mòr bottling of Glenburgie he stole at auction.

After some early encouragement into the whisky scene via friends and Macallan, Murdo persists with a bottle of the Night on Earth Seasonal Release, only to discover it’s a stinker.

A collab is required as Broddy and Drummond both review what we believe to be some of the best value all-natural whiskies about right now. Benromach Peat smoke time.

In embracing springtime, Earie pulls out his inner European to complain about the weather, and how it drives his whisky consumption. To us it looks like this Benrinnes form Van Wees would go down well regardless.

In another Dramface Friday First; our man in Asia feels the sting of shame as one of his whisky preferences is rudely invalidated. It takes a little reflection and another bottle buy to rectify things..

After years of pounding his way through his favoured Islay big-hitters, Fergus one day encountered what he would come to understand as a Mileston Malt; Mortlach. He picks up a steal of an Signatory release to revisit.

Our Dramface debutant today shares his passion for music with an appropriate release form Turntable; their malt-heavy and affordable Paradise Funk. It’s Fergus’ call as to whether it’s killer, filler or grower.

When we love whisky so much, it’s hard to be brutal about some of the obvious negatives. Yet sometimes, when things are clearly wrong, we just have to call it out. This decision was not taken lightly.

A vintage Benriach soothes Fletch as he protests the fleecing of travellers at visitor centres across Scotland, with the story of The Pilgrim. Many of us can relate.

Fletch is trying hard to find a nice, special occasion whisky but, in another fit of disappointment, he’s reminded instead of a childhood movie that still haunts him today.

As he settles into life in Dixie, Ogilvie meets up with a formidable local gent who declares if it isn’t bourbon, it isn’t whiskey. A dinner is the prize if a mind can be changed…

Celebrating the whiskies that might not exactly be contenders for the Dramface Top 40, Earie finds cracking value in a wee 50cl Miltonduff.

Pragmatism and reflection are the themes as Ainsley happens upon a bargain ghost at auction. Shy at first, he eventually locks this beauty away for as long as possible. Special people only.

Do the right thing, by all means. Support, don’t judge. Because sometimes being a patient spendthrift, far away from a whisky shop, still uncovers things to reassure you that good stuff is still out there.
