Two teenage Highlanders, one additionally matured in Bordeaux red wine, and the other in a Mezcal cask. What characteristics will these slightly unusual cask finishes bring to the whiskies?

We're looking at two refill sherry single casks from Little Brown Dog, an older single grain and a younger single malt.

It's always a treat to review these handpicked casks from Jim McEwan, so we're excited to see what the 6th release of his signature series holds...

We look at two late-teens Family casks from Glenfarclas to see if these really do represent the best that the distillery can offer.

Two casks from North Star Spirits, one fully matured in oloroso, the other only having a short finishing period. Will we prefer the sherry bomb, or will finish give better balance to the spirit?

We've got a comparison of teaspooned Laphroaigs, both single casks released by BBR. Does the clean bourbon cask win us over or will the moscatel finish give it the little bit extra we're looking for?
