When days are shorter, wetter and colder, it's time to turn to more heartwarming stuff. A cask strength Hazelburn year old rises to the occasion in this week's post. Now here bit.ly/Hazelburn15 #Hazelburn #Springbank #whisky #scotch #singlemalt #Campbeltown

Auction sites can be a dangerous place. Just when I was about to make a bid on a ubiquitous bottle, I remembered I had a sample somewhere. The charm of taking a punt versus the precautious approach of 'try before you buy'. Now here: bit.ly/DarkSilkie #whiskey #Irish #blend

Earie lost an old flame, 25 years ago he fell for Laphroaig, only for things to inevitable change. Now, with this newly envisioned 15yo, can he renew the spark? dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #whisky #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #review @Laphroaig

When talking #whisky, we know what we like. But what happens if these little preconceptions are put to the test by a whisky with an usual presentation? This week's blog covers exactly that as I try a bourbon cask matured #Glenallachie from #Cadenhead's. bit.ly/Glenallachie9yo

Despite being a fan of some of his local distilleries, Broddy missed the appearance of an official Alberta Whisky Act. Not slow to cash-in, Costco got together with some distilleries - including this tasty Anohka. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #whisky #Dramface #whiskyreview #singlemalt #review #canadianwhisky @AnohkaDistilled

he official 14 yo was once a staple, but it's been a long time since I really spent time with a bottle of Clynelish. Thanks to the Thompson Brothers, I get a chance to redeem myself. This week's post, now here: bit.ly/TBClynelish12 #Clynelish #Whisky #SingleMalt #Scotch

Earie is eager to slip into whisky season. Happily, a birthday gift seems to be the perfect fit to assist in bringing the orange and red-tinged seasonal vibes. This time, it’s a peated Glenturret - Ruadh Mhor - from North Star. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #whisky #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #review North Star Spirits

#Bruichladdich is celebrating 25 years of being brought back from the dead with a series of releases. One of them is the 10 year old 'old school'. Is it a fitting tribute to their legacy and heritage? My thoughts here: bit.ly/Laddie10oldschool #whisky #islay #Scotch #singlemalt

Ardbeg seems to be doing things in a fair way these days, or is Wally just being his usual, far-too-generous, optimistic self? He’s got the 15yo Trudernish in the glass and he seems to like it. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #review #whisky @Ardbeg

It takes a trip far away, with too little whisky, to make Charlie reflect on how lucky he is to live so close to the source. With a Johnnie Walker Double Black, he sees that Scotland is, actually, a great place. The verdict on this Johnnie Walker Double Black Blended Scotch? Inoffensive, slightly punchy, and decent value for £28.50—provided you can ignore the luminous orange hue and pour it under dim lighting. 🥃 dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #Dramface #whisky #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #review

Often praised for being a bit of a hidden gem, Glen Elgin may well be considered a 'pet' distillery. One we have a soft spot for yet without it being top of mind when thinking about #whisky. Due time to give it some attention in this week's post: bit.ly/GlenElgin11yoWatt #scotch

This week's post covers #Glenglassaugh, a distillery in dire need of some TLC. Currently mothballed, the current core range is still (readily) available. But for how long? My thoughts on their 'Sandend' expression now here: bit.ly/GlenglassaughSandend #whisky #scotch #singlemalt

This week's review covers a distillery seldomly making its way to my blogpage. An oversight or rightfully ignored? Read it here: bit.ly/Balvenie14bourboncask #Balvenie #whisky #scotch #singlemalt #curiouscask

Back after a Summer break, so to kick things off again, I'm looking at 5 whiskies at once! Yep, Dràm Mòr's latest summer bacth dropped, and my thoughts about them you can find here: bit.ly/DramMorSummer26 #whisky #singlemalt #scotch #DramMor #indiebottler

Purple flowers and cinnamon bears, Archie takes us on another hike through his local nature. This time, it’s a budget friendly Clynelish in the form of The Teuchter from Decadent Drinks. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #whiskyreview #dramface #singlemalt

The 2026 Paul Launois release from Ardnamurchan inspires a Dramface collab. Four of our writers gather at its side to ponder the trajectory of one of the coolest annual releases in whisky. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #whisky #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #review @Distillery1826

Retailers, apparently, are important. That is, if they’re good. Ex-retailer Ainsley explains why there’s more to it than budget-and done. He shares a Thompson Bros Good Spirits Co. Highland Malt to illustrate. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #dramface #whiskyreview #singlemalt @DornochDist

A 'high end' whisky before a welcomed summer break puts real life (and whisky) to the background for a week or two, as I push pause with some Springbank 18 year old in the glass. Now here: bit.ly/Springbank18yo #whisky #singlemalt #scotch #Springbank #Campbeltown

Bottle number 5. It's possibly my favourite Festival Edition. @GlenScotiaMalts

Another heatwave loading, it's time for something 'light.' But light doesn't mean boring, as this week's review points out: bit.ly/laddie8 #whisky #singlemalt #Bruichladdich #islay #Scotch
