Some people discard blended malts, but Little Brown Dog's Wee Mongrel series looks to be incredible value on paper - well aged, sherry matured whiskies at a very accessible price. So do they meet expectations?

Back to Islays farm distillery to check out a few specials releases, including a bottling for the Kilchoman Appreciation Society.

The first of five sherry matured 10 year olds from Springbank, a new series for the collectors to hoard, but how does it taste?

Two unpeated Glen Scotia's go side by side, will the single cask win out or will we prefer the more readily available 2021 special release?

Independent Caol Ila's are in no short supply, but they tend to represent great quality and value in the Islay whisky market, so how do these two single casks stack up?

We check out the 2022 release of Kilkerran 16 to see how it stacks up to the other recent Kilkerran bottlings.
