After travelling with a only few select picks, Charlie quickly became frustrated that he didn’t have his usual selection. He realises he needs the thrill of choice. Clydeside’s brand new 8yo in the glass. Wally joins in too. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #whisky #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #review #singlemalt @clydesidewhisky

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

Wally yearns for the 1990s. He thinks whisky was better and living was easier. But there are some glimmers of hope for our futures, in whisky at least. He counts this new Benromach 12yo as one of them. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #whisky #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #review @Benromach

Replying to @_dramface
Thanks for the great review. Agree; it’s excellent, but just a *bit* ‘safe’ compared to my most-beloved Benromachs. My first impressions below…
Replying to @LowWhines
Overall: a winner, especially at/below RRP. It’s not as powerful or layered as their ‘core’ sherry-influenced Cask Strength releases (unsurprisingly)…but with few peers at its market point. Was clearly improving with time/air in the glass, too. #BenromachWhisky

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

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

Just read this alluring @_dramface review of the new @Ardbeg (dramface.com/all-reviews/202…), which gave me a thirst for one of the other recent releases it praised… 👌
Funny you should mention that…! It’s (predictably) delicious. Neckpour not the place for reliable tasting notes…but all the core @Ardbeg 10 notes dialled up to 11, with fabulous extra viscosity, is the impression thus far.

Murdo knows what to look out for while travelling. Some of the things he’s really keen to try just don’t make it to his native Hong Kong. Like these Wire Works souvenirs he grabbed from The Whisky Exchange. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #englishwhisky #dramface @whitepeakwhisky #singleMalt

Wally has a new obsession, which is troubling because it was sold out in a day and he’s fast getting through the only bottle he has. Bruichladdich’s Greener Still hits the spot, just as he’d hoped. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #whisky #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #review @Bruichladdich

In railing against the addition of colour and chill-filtering, Mason is tripped up by a bargain-basement Glen Moray Classic. He’s forced to apply some pragmatism and just appreciate what it is. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #whisky #Dramface #whiskyreview #singlemalt #review @GlenMorayDist

Broddy has been squirrelling the releases from Arran in the Signature Series - so far. With a fourth edition imminent, he brings us his thoughts on the first three, and there’s a clear favourite. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #whisky #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #review @Arranwhisky

Throwback to 2022, when Dougie Crystal tried chasing the ghosts of Mortlach’s past with this official 16-year-old release, only to be met with "rocks and resentment." 🪨😅 dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #whisky #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #review #MortlachWhisky

Ogilvie reflects on movements in his life and a future change coming to when he would often share a dram on his back porch of an evening. Embracing an auction purchase of a Bedford Park Ben Nevis acclaimed by Broddy a year before, Broddy joins him in a collab review on this IB release. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #WhiskeyReview #blendedwhisky #review #singlemalt #scotchwhisky #whiskyreview #Dramface #whisky

Mannochmore isn't a distillery you see solo every day, but this Murray McDavid Benchmark bottling hits a fantastic equilibrium: stewed fruits, ginger spice, and dark chocolate. Revisit Ogilvie's review from 2024 with today's summer-time throwback. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #review #whisky @Murray_McDavid
