Sometimes, a whisky choice is much more about the moment than the liquid itself. When Ogilvie welcomes a friend of 53 years, he decides to drop the fancies. Inchmurrin 12yo is in the glass.

Once more, some of the team gather to put forward their stand-out whiskies of 2025. Remember there’s no other stipulation here other than to have some fun with it. And, if it’s serious, make it serious fun.

After a mini-gathering at Whisky Live Paris, Hughie and Ainsley buddy up for a short resumé of events over a Cadenhead’s Ledaig 14yo, as well as a campaign for us all to join them in Paris in future.

Hamish is drawn to comparing Lochlea’s new Dark Briar to the similar sherry-cask Fallow Edition. In doing so he starts to wonder how the concept of a ‘core range’ ever came about in malt whisky.

Having learned from experience, Hughie checks himself when he realises he may be taking whisky, and its analysis, a little too seriously. The antidote? A Cadenhead’s Kilkerran 13yo thank you very much.

Our cocktail shenanigans continue, but not without reviewing the whisky itself first. Ainsley brings us a Claret Snap, his own take on the Whisky Sour, using the acclaimed Uncle Nearest 100º Proof.

We take a break from our summer, erm, break, to bring an epic team Dramface pile-on for the Thompson Brothers’ Mystery Malt Series No.2. Let’s see if we all pay attention to the try-it-blind memo this time.

In case you missed it: One of our Malternative deep dives from Ainsley is back this week. This time, its another guide for Cognac and Armagnac with three recommendations and a review with Serge. Fascinating stuff!

Broddy spots a tall bottle with appealing specs; 16 years and all ex-bourbon. He’s in. Glenmorangie too. Expecting an amplified 12yo, he’s left, not for the first time, rueing unmet expectations.

Realising whisky’s time capsule proposition while increasingly troubled by potential nostalgia, Ogilvie seeks out a vintage Bunnahabhain 12yo to see if the flavours of his memory can be matched.

Faced with a bargain, Fletch returns to a bottle he’s not touched in years. Noticing just how much the prices of supermarket whiskies are being crunched, he picks up Glengoyne’s 10yo to consider why.

Over the years, Earie has taught himself what he likes and likes less. But with a dearth of Signatory Vintage’s 100º Proof Series in Belgium, he picks up a North British 15yo grain, and learns a lesson.

Wally sets aside a day to sit with a line up of Decadent Drinks releases. He uncovers some show stoppers and - remarkably - he can even afford one of them.

Hughie reignites an old flame - Kilchoman. Specifically their 100% Islay release. Despite the ‘monogamy’ of a single distillery and even a single expression, he still manages a little promiscuity by enjoying three at once.

Something of a late arrival, but it would seem that’s how long these things take, especially for those of us further away form the source. Folks like Broddy, and his distance from this 2024 Sherry Cask Ardnamurchan.

West-coast born, but East-coast dwelling, Charlie stands up for Scotland’s East Neuk. Over two Kingsbarns charmers he asks why there’s not more fuss made of their whisky renaissance.

Something got in the way of Doog’s enjoyment of what’s become ‘his whisky’. Fortunately for all, he worked out what it was, and faced it down. He bring us a MacLean & Bruce 5yo Ardnamurchan to share all.

Some whiskies split the crowd. A Dramface, we have the luxury of ocassionally being able to harness that. Like this Glasgow 1770 Pineau Des Charentes. Is Fletch’s bonfire is Hughie’s damp campfire?

In discovering a cracking but largely ignored Johnnie Walker Blend, Wally shares why we don’t talk about - or chase - traffic at Dramface. An odd position, but the whisky’s great!

Ainsley considers the seasonal moods of enjoying our drinks and preferring light and fresh sips in summer weather. Only to throw it all out the window for a banger of an oloroso Thompson Bros Dufftown.

Today Murdo reveals his milestone epiphanies and, specifically, how they led to appreciating more spirit-forward drams such as the classic Glencadam 15yo. Calder chips in from Oz too.

Doog came scarily close to declaring a whisky a disaster. Fortunately, a 70cl bottle of Glasgow’s Small Batch Syrah was coincidentally diverted his way to save everyone’s blushes.

The last of Ogilvie’s auction spoils has him happy. A venture into a new take on a familiar style; a 1st fill French Limousin oak and a single cask Loch Lomond Open Edition from 2020.

Whisky finds you. Sometimes it has to be found elsewhere and carried in a backpack over borders and mountains, but it finds you. Dougie was found by the latest Longrow 100º Proof.

Gilbert adds another Johnnie Walker to the collection and asks ‘what’s in a name?’ A lot, apparently, especially when you’re trying really hard to find the right one.

Being honest with himself, Earie accepts that he’s paying more per bottle today than ever. Where will this pattern go & did a splurge on this Douglas Laing 18yo Bunnahabhain work out well?

Dougie recalls a weekend trip to Auld Reekie and reviews a whisky from there too. One which gathered viral attention from whisky folk & chocolate makers too, unfortunately - Master of Malt’s Dalry Milk.

Necessity is the mother of invention. As Ogilvie’s strict local liquor laws continue to frustrate, he finds different routes to keeping his exploration alive. This time with a Pot Still Birthday Blair Athol.

As Hughie shares one of his ‘finds’ from Thompson Bros & a recent Scotland trip, he’s left to consider all the folks that have helped whisky find him; those who are celebrated and those who are often less so.

Broddy tries to break Dramface with an epic assesment of ten banging modern blends. He recruits some local pal and covers them all - blind. Think you’re only into malt? This one’s a cracker.
