Global Travel Retail, Renaissance & Dream Drink Partners.  This may be the longest ever. But still great fun. Jenny, Roy and Rob join host Gregor to discuss a varied range of topics that may occasionally be permitted to depart form whisky, such as what other drinks we enjoy. We also talk about the current state of travel retail with a few recommendations for those travelling this summer. The odd area of resurrection and renaissance is also a theme. Gregor asks what distilleries are most...

All four of us manage to keep our excitement in check . As we look ahead to a work/leisure mesh trip to Campbeltown and Islay we cover batch variation, not for the first - or last - time in malt whisky as well as archiving and documenting the variation along the years. We also look ahead to expectation from a few days of whisky travel to Scotland’s West Coast, to the whisky magnets that are Campbeltown and Islay. This was released early to Dramface Members. Thank you for your support!

You know, we do try to keep things positive. But things are sent to challenge that, constantly. There’s been so much news recently about pricing to demand, rebrands and nonsense that we occasionally just have to tackle it. Regulars Jason and Roy join host Gregor alongside Gordon and the returning Julie to discuss these topics. Since there’s nothing they can do about any of it they’re really just prodding around in the dark and dreaming. So while they dream, what bottles would they resurrect...

Star Wars. Speyside. Coals To Newcastle and How’s It All Going? In this episode of the Dougie Crystal Fan Club we discover when not to visit Speyside, as well as chat Star Wars and whisky, what bottles to take along and find a moment to think about Dramface so far. We also pledge to buy Bea a decent microphone, she joined us from ‘holiday’ this time and it does sound a little like she’s dialling in from space. PS: When we refer to ‘the bible’ in this episode we mean the Malt Whisky...

Gregor is joined by Roy, Phil, Julie and Jenny to cover pilgrimages, PPMs, prohibited items and past bottles. It also ends with a killer I AM A DISTILLERY. Seriously.    We’re Upgrading things!   Dramface members access this early. We’re still working on other ways to reward them for their support of what we’re building, inspiration occasionally hits and we work out what could be of interest. How about recording a quick message and we use that in future podcasts?   Give it a try. An...

Faced with a diminished core team, Gregor pulls in Julie, Andy & Ryan to join him and Roy to discuss glassware habits and the friendships whisky can bring.  Comments Remain Important To Us! Yes, we had a curated list of community comments ready to respond to, but discussions about the perfect and not so perfect idea of whisky glassware  and where whisky has taken us and our friendships got us all distracted.  In trying to keep these close to or around an hour we forgot to use the...

Gregor McWee tries his best to extract practical guidance from the Dramface team this week with questions on opening and re-opening. With things getting somewhat back to normal, Rob, Roy, Jason and Justine consider their experiences of distillery tours as they open a few nice bottles along the way.  This Podcast was released to Dramface Members the week before public release.

Trust us - this is still a Dramface podcast. In Episode Three Gregor hosts Jason, Justine, Rob, Roy & Scotty to discuss video games, Zeitgeist, rising prices and British queueing culture. Wait, is this even about whisky? Oh yes… oh yes. All of it. Except the games bit. This Podcast was released to Dramface Members the week before public release.

Gregor is joined by Jason, Justine, Alex, Roy & Causeway Coast Whisky’s Phil as we discuss everything from FOMO to scoring, festivals to tasting notes, reader comments to what makes a dirty whisky, a grassy whisky or a bright whisky. There's some odd celebrations during the I am a Distillery quiz that we're very glad you can't see.

After our Launch podcast we had a lot of interest in releasing more of the same. We don’t know what we’re doing really, but we’re up for giving it a go. In this session we talk about the recent craziness around the Springbank releases, the reception of Dramface post-launch and we take some comments from the community. We also finish on a new game called I’m a Distillery. Please let us know what you think. We’ll shape it with your feedback. This Podcast was released to Dramface Members a...

DRAMFACE. What’s it all about? — What is it? — Why bother? — How did it happen? — Who’s involved? Gregor McWee hosted the team for a Q&A.
