Earie Argyle
Born and raised in the Lowlands, albeit the 'wrong’ Lowlands of mainland Europe, I Initially became enamoured by the peat monsters from Islay when I was a 20 something. Things started to get really out of hand after I stumbled upon a Ralfy video a decade or so later. Since then, I have no intention of wriggling myself free from this spirited rabbit hole. I'm determined to learn as much as possible on all things whisky, preferably with a nice dram in hand. Join me, won’t you?

The Truth About Glendronach
Although I learned a lot about indie bottlers in my own feature piece, the biggest surprise of the lot came from Hamishes’ feature piece on Glendronach. Lessons are to be learned here - about perception, jumping to conclusions, but also about how not to manage communications as a producer. Very insightful.
Kingsbarns Distillery Reserve
If ever I needed persuasion to tap into the new wave of 21st-century distilleries, Doog’s take on Kingsbarns Distillery Reserve is probably the one.
Highest Scores.
