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.

Appreciate the good feedback, glad you enjoyed the read/review. It is perplexing…

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.

In picking up a Distillery Exclusive from Glasgow Distillery to mark it’s new tour offering, Wally asks why so many other exclusives are so expensive for pilgrims buying direct from the source.

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.

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.

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.
