Two interesting wine cask maturations from Brave New Spirits and their Guerrilla Casks range, find out how they stack up in this review.

We enjoy when Independent bottlers try new things, and a Ben Nevis in an ex-rye cask is new to us. We're comparing this with a slightly more common PX finish... which will we prefer?

We look at two weird and wonderful discontinued Ardbegs, an accidental vatting with Glen Moray and a super-lightly peated bottling.

We're exploring Diageo's Fèis Ìle 2022 portfolio, looking at Caol Ila and Lagavulin. Both matured in the same cask types and priced the same, this will be interesting. 

Bruichladdich's new range of Fèis Ìle bottlings contain spirit from their 3 main distillates mixed together. Have they got the balance of Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte and Octomore right in these bottles?

Two releases from Adelphi, both containing spirit from their Ardnamurchan distillery.. one with an intriguing name and the other blended with Swedish spirit.
