When I filmed my review of Cask of Yamazaki 3Q70047, I wasn't by the fireplace at the @dornochcastle... I was in the dungeons! This is one of the best Yamazakis I have ever tried. Absolutely exceptional. Watch here to find out why: youtu.be/UeECQ-938KE

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

This photo, which I absolutely love, was taken during my one month working at the Rishiri Distillery. Here are 8 lessons that changed how I think about whisky - and honestly, many other things too: youtu.be/cKn_g2cwh8o – at Craigiehall, Scotland

Jameson whisky review: I’m marking my 3,000th whisky tasted with a rare 1940s John Jameson & Son 12-year-old, paired with a Jameson 12-year-old from the 1980s or 1990s. The 1940s dram is the standout here — a scarce Bow Street-era bottle: moredramslessdrama.com/2026/…

At Katsuo-ji, the famous Daruma temple outside Osaka. Founded in 765, it earned its reputation after Emperor Seiwa recovered from illness there in the 9th century. Daruma inspire victory: paint one eye when you wish, the other when it comes true. More: mactionplanet.com/blog/this-…

What drives someone to build a whisky distillery on a remote island at the edge of Japan? Founder Casey Wahl tells me what pushed him to create the Rishiri Distillery against all odds. Not just for whisky fans; for anyone building something from nothing: youtu.be/D0S-jI331mo

New make today. Whisky in 3 years. 🥃 Sat down with the founder of Rishiri Distillery - Japan's northernmost single malt producer - to taste the 2024 vintage straight from the still. Raw, wild, shaped by the wind off the Sea of Japan. Watch 👇 youtu.be/66RAQyj-AAQ

It turns out Fergie has a fear - of lightening strikes. His childhood story of why makes it understandable. But during a recent storm he found a distraction, an antidote; a Bunnahabhain from Single Malts of Scotland. dramface.com/all-reviews/202… #Dramface #whiskyreview #scotchwhisky #singlemalt #review #whisky @Bunnahabhain
