Weekend sorted: exploring the idea you can't screw up a Caol Ila, Tav earns a gold star by lining up 5 indy bangers and comparing them all to the classic official 12yo.

At Dramface, we're confident we're about to see a LOT more of this available in the not-too-distant future. In the meantime, Inness cracks open a rarely seen bottle of indy Tormore.

Life brings change, but it also brings whisky. Sometimes really good whisky. As Paisley returns home to reflections and resets, she finds comfort in a young but cracking Bunnahabhain Staoisha.

Tracing back his Ardmore love to when he was an (illegal) teen, Nick compares two modern takes from industry insiders turned indy bottlers: James Eadie and The Firkin Whisky Co.

Continuing our quiet nod to Ardnamurchan's 10 years making whisky, Nick chimes in with a 5yo oloroso Single Cask Nation bottling. But would he invite it to dinner?

In another Dramface Friday First, we’re introduced to Innes, who has a soft spot for Auchentoshan, but not without quibble. Here he compares two. They’re indies. Of course they are.

Despite hailing from a whisky-fertile province of North America, Broddy laments the drop in Bunnahabhain availability simply because of a personnel change. He still finds and scores 2 bargains though.

After a friend is confused by a sherry matured Craigellachie, Broddy is saddled with the task of assessing things. Facing impostor syndrome and another weird sherry cask, he does his best.

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.

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.

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.
