Episode 171: Talisker 18 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky
15 February, 2026
Quite liking the Talisker 10 inspired me to track down a sample of their 18 year offering. We discuss the early years of the distillery, when it rebuilt and its late 20th century expansion. Older age statement Peated Whiskies have been impressing me of late…does this one stack up? Let’s find out…

Episode 170: Talisker 10 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky
14 February, 2026
One of the first Peated Scotches I ever tried was the 10 Year Old from Talisker. At the time I hadn’t really come to appreciate Peated Whiskies, but well over a year later I decided it was time to have another crack at it. After a brief side-track into the unofficial SWA (but not SWA approved) region of ‘The Islands’ I also look at their unusual U-bend and purifier, then I also review the dram. I also try their Alexa integration…with interesting results…

Episode 169: Milk & Honey Apex Dead Sea Single Malt Whisky
13 February, 2026
The Milk & Honey Distillery in Israel has multiple warehouses for storing its Whisky casks during maturation and as part of the Apex series they explore different maturation locations to obtain vastly different flavour profiles from their offerings. In this particular offering, it spent a year next to the Dead Sea, and the effect it has on the Whisky is quite dramatic…dramatic good or bad? Let’s find out…

Episode 168: Lagavulin 8 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky
12 February, 2026
I first tried the Lagavulin 8 Year at a Whisky Club night, and I really wanted to review it properly on the show. I do a deep dive into Distillation cuts, where the Peat lives and how aging Peated Whiskies change over time in a barrel. Finally I review the dram and see how well it stacks up against it’s older sibling.

Episode 167: Springbank 18 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky
11 February, 2026
For the final Springbank I’m reviewing in this series, I thought it would good to dive into all the little things people don’t think about, that Springbank ALSO do on their physical site…like making their own barrels and bottling, to name a few. They really are control freaks…anyway, the 18 Year is much loved by Whisky nerds, but just having been blown away by the 12 and 15 years, does the extra 3 years and considerable expense, pay off for me? There’s only one way to know…

Episode 166: Springbank 15 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky
8 February, 2026
Some reviewers call the 15 Year from Springbank the runt of the litter, which seems rather harsh. This episode I set about to test that theory, but I also cover the interesting history of the Sprinkbank Distillery, the various closures and reopenings, and then finally I review the 15 Year. Is this the best one yet?
