Playing Whiskymaker

Since he’s critiquing whisky, Broddy decides to attempt his own home blends. The goal, to make a sherry bomb, a bourbon bomb, a better JW Black and a better Dalmore Port Wood. It takes him six months.

How Relevant Are Independent Bottlers in 2022?

(A throwback to September 2022). A read through Earie’s prescient article on the role of indies from 2022 has us contemplating how much has changed in the year since. We also cast our eyes forward and brace ourselves for the inevitable changes imminent in the year ahead. These are interesting times as we chant for more power to the independents.

Earie reaches out to the Laings of Douglas Laing, the Watts of Campbeltown Whisky Co., the MacDonalds of Dràm Mòr and Kai Ivalo of SMWS for this thought piece and interview.
