Aberlour Casg Annamh #1
Dougie takes stock, shares where he's at and shares every sealed bottle he owns that's about to be cracked and reviewed. He starts with Aberlour's Cask Annamh Batch 0001.
Longmorn 16yo Then & Now
Murdo heads up one of our 'Then & Now' comparison reviews; this time featuring Longmorn's legendary 16 year olds. There's also a bonus buddy up on the iconic 15yo with Fergus.
Glasgow 1770 Cognac Cask
After not really trying much Lowland whisky, Hamish notes that today he's spoiled for choice. But what is Lowland? He sits with another Glasgow Small Batch release and Fergus joins in.
Tomatin 12yo Then & Now
Self-declared Tomatin fanboy Broddy has a suspicion that we’re being fleeced; that quality is dropping and folk are being taken advantage of. Today, it’s poor ol’ Tomatin in his sights.
Kings County Rye
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.
Ferg & Harris Speyside 12yo
It’s a Fletcher Friday. Upon encountering yet another entry into the indie bottler space; he considers if it’s even possible to bring anything truly ‘different’ today.
Glasgow 1770 Tokaji Cask
A triple review of a recent Glasgow Small Batch cask strength bargain; whisky provided by the distillery for Hamish and Fergus, but Doog buys his own. An interesting three-way take.
Glen Ord Young vs Old
Ainsley brings a Glen Ord banger to a 90+ points whisky night and ends up contemplating what’s different about ‘older’ whiskies that are, in whisky terms, actually pretty young.
Nc’Nean Rum Cask
Drummond, Ramsay and Hamish team up on a Nc’Nean British Rum Cask release, only to end up unintentionally positing the question; how much should a single cask of this age cost?
Seven Sons Blended Duo
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.
Glenglassaugh 8yo Fife Festival Edition
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.
Ben Nevis 18yo
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.
Longrow Peated
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.
Glasgow Themed Duo
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.
Linkwood 1990s Duo
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.
Dràm Mòr Spring 2024 Outturn
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.
Royal Brackla 12yo
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?
Torabhaig Cnoc Na Moine
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.
Virgin Oak Glen Garioch vs Deanston
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.
Kirkland Islay Single Malt
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.
