Charlie and Wally are nervous. Scotland appear at their first World Cup finals since 1998 this weekend. Will Clydeside’s unofficial/official distillery limited edition release be the one to pour if there’s something to celebrate? dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #whisky #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #review @clydesidewhisky

In a fit of rebellion, Mason rails against the wave of AI generated everything he finds in his life today. Whisky, especially good old-school style such as these Ardnamurchan Golden Promise releases, seems to help. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #review #whisky @Distillery1826

It seems that Pulteney have never been fully forgiven for the brand update that happened all the way back in 2018. Drummond put the case forward for their often overlooked 18 year old. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #review #whisky @OldPulteneyMalt

Once in a store, Ogilvie heartily recommended this Jack Daniels Barrel Proof to an acquaintance. When he returns to a bottle three years later, he realises some things change, if fact sometimes everything does. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #Dramface #WhiskeyReview #review #tenneseewhiskey @JackDaniels_US

In a wonderfully candid and personal piece, Archie shares his transition into trusting independent bottlers and how he decided to start with Murray McDavid. It’s not what you might think. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #Dramface #whiskyreview #singlemalt #scotchwhisky #whisky #review @Murray_McDavid

With the Classic Laddie displaying its 10yo label once more, Ramsay picks up what’s only his second ever Laddie and asks if our tendency for nostalgia is well-placed, or potentially harmful. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #whisky #review @Bruichladdich

Sometimes we place unrealistic expectations on things, based on our own dreams and memories, building up inevitable ‘failure’. The return of Arran’s 14yo has Wally wondering if we’re all just after a ‘hot take’. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #whisky #review @Arranwhisky

Broddy gathers seven bottles of SMOS Reserve Cask Small Batch releases in a single mega review. He justifies his scoring for each while dropping a bombshell of heresy about oatcakes. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #review #whisky

Facing the challenges of restraint, Mason tackles the inevitable fallout of over-accumulation. We can all relate. That said, it doesn’t stop him from buying a backup of this Thompson Bros Sutherland. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #Dramface #whiskyreview #singlemalt #scotchwhisky #whisky #review @DornochDist

Kindred spirits Archie and Charlie collab on one of their favourites: Torabhaig. This time it’s all about their new Taigh core release and the meaning of home, with summery pics of California and Scotland. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #whisky #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #review

Ogilvie’s been in a huff. Challenged by a lack of interesting bottles, he finds himself faced with shelves of taupe. Until a ‘consolation’ bottle of New Riff Malted Rye from a Sherry Cask lights up an evening. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #whisky #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #review @NewRiff

On a trek, Archie is tempted into breaking his own rules when he uncovers a gem of a waterfall. It makes the prettiest of backdrops for a gem of a Balmenach from Living Souls. dramface.com/news/2026/balme… #whisky #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #review

Dougie discovers, for the first time, brown noise. He shares his thoughts. He also discovers, for the second time, Glen Garioch 12yo. He also shares his thoughts. And his photos? We hope you’re sitting down. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #whisky #review @GlenGarioch

Charlie continues his deep dive into new distilleries (to him), this time uncovering the two ‘Glens’ of Ord and ‘Dullan, then comparing two Special releases to indies from James Eadie and the Thompson Bros. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #Dramface #whiskyreview #singlemalt #scotchwhisky #whisky #review

In a hurry to get to funner places, Wally phoned one in. This time it’s a limited edition Macallan, and there’s nothing - yet somehow everything - wrong with it. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #whisky #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #review
