North Star Spirits have released a new range of malts under their South Star Spirits brand. We take a look at each of the 3 whiskies in our more budget-friendly bottles series.

The new kid on the block, Lochlea, present their inaugural release.. how does it stand up against the likes of Ardnamurchan,Torabhaig, Nc'nean and Raasay?

Ardbeg's latest committee release promises weird and wonderful flavours as a result of the longest fermentation period we've seen in the production of a whisky - does it deliver on this promise?

We look at two IB releases from Islay's workhorse distillery, both with interesting cask types to see if the spirit shines alongside the additional cask flavours.

Two limited edition Lagavulins go head to head in this review, will the 12 year old blow us away or will the finishing time in Guinness casks work for us?

We're looking at a staple release from Ardbeg and pitting it against a slightly older committee release bottling, should you stick with the core range or look at these limited releases?
