Broddy feels, like most, that it’s hard to screw up Caol Ila, but this one comes close. Luckily, he regales us with tales and views of jaw dropping Canadian scenes along the way.

Once in a while Dramface tries to break the whisky internet. This time it’s Broddy’s attempt as he tries all the sherry, alongside associated whiskies. As a noob. And shares it blow by blow. What a session!

Dougie remains committed to mining the rich purple seam of Glen Garioch. This time it’s a Cadehead’s 12yo . A 20cl bottle that, on first sip, sends him back for a full 70cl. Maybe two.

Hamish not only celebrates the ability to follow the birth of new distilleries, with these 8 Doors releases he enjoys how open and accessible they are too.

Determined not to succumb to snobbery, Fergus takes an active step to try a less-footered with Jura, this time a natural 46% Hunter Laing 8yo.

Faced with a dearth of enthusiasts local to him, Earie surprises himself as he decides to engage with another enthusiast browsing the same shelves which provided the great Benrinnes.

A fan of the annual fun laid on by Fife’s Festival, Dougie uncorks this year’s official event bottling by Fib Whisky and realises Glenglassaugh might be yet another distillery to get his eager teeth into.

Warning. Nick will likely score this harshly. After a life-changing Ben Nevis epiphany, nothing has matched since. Tyree steps in to help on this Blackadder Ingelred 18yo.

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.

Dramface: Who’d you like to collab with on the Longrow: Broddy, Nick, Ogilvie, Tyree, Aengus or Calder?
Eallair: “Yes”.
An epic Dramface collective review on an iconic bottle.

Paisley declares her love for her adopted hometown of Glasgow, choosing two pours which adorn the city’s most iconic and infamous image; the traffic cone atop the Duke.

Our Linkwood exploration continues, this time heading back to the 1990s with a Signatory and a Cadenhead’s head-to-head, which also gives Ainsley pause to consider the role of ABV.

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.

Free stuff isn’t common on Dramface; each writer usually buys their own whisky. So when Earie sifts through an entire outturn via Dràm Mòr provided samples, he takes a moment to justify it.

Recognising a new reluctance in the human condition to reach out and connect, Ogilvie decides to start at home, using whisky as the weapon of choice and a Royal Brackla 12yo as ammunition. Does it work?

All it took was a strange word and a stranger distillery for Hamish to take a punt on the lesser-seen Balmenach, arguably one of the most obscure - despite its scale and cracking, weighty malt.

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.

It’s been said malt and virgin oak don’t work. Broddy grabs a Glen Garioch and a Deanston Cask Strength for a side by side. There’s a clear winner, even if is scoring is a little less clear on this one.

We all love a bargain, but Nick takes extra pleasure when this Costco Kirkland Islay bargain punches above its weight and proves a popular choice for befuddling his blind tasting pals.
