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.

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.

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.

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?
