Play Pause

5d ago1:28:32

1:28:32

The State of the Collection With half the team still struggling with colds and flu after the Glasgow shenanigans, they’re able to focus on topics that don’t require much sensory function, but it does place a tax on cerebral processing: what are the flavours of all the Monster Munch variants and what to do with our inevitable over-accumulation of bo…

The Introspective Crossover In an effort to let everyone have a wee peek at just how messy things actually are at Dramface Towers, the Colonials request the presence of the messy clown at the helm. He’s eventually asked to explain why it takes six months from recording to release, which he fails to do. In the end, however, this introspective pod en…

1:33:42

The Glasgow Wan We recorded this in summer. But our software lost half of one of the tracks. In a huff, we tried another software. It’s proven to be a better-the-devil-you-know scenario. This isn’t as ‘clean’ as usual and we think having all four of us on screen is a little distracting, but it’s recorded and we’re not trashing another - so we go. H…

Dramface colonials Podcast Ep.9 - Coffee & Whisky 1:18:50

1:18:50

Or 'The Coffee Wan' It’s inevitable that whisky folk spend their time in more than one rabbit hole; it’s our inquisitive nature, perhaps. In the Dramface team we see a huge overlap, believe it or not, with coffee. I don’t. I don’t really drink much coffee. But I get it. What really struck me is the synergies and parallels we can draw between coffee…

1:23:45

The Heels In this banger of a knowledge bomb, Rob gathers Mike, Stuart, Justin and Gus to discuss collections, managing them and our individual attitudes towards keeping tabs on bottles, levels and inventories. They’re also happy to take detours to cover flavour, sulphur and the oldest whiskies they’ve tried. This one’s a cracker, Wally’s favourite…

The Colonials Are Blind. All of them. As you’re all aware, we’re digging up recordings from the end of last year to catch up. With light at the end of the tunnel, we share what is the longest ever recording session from us. So long, in fact, we cut it into two episodes.

Collections and selections... …and bottles on life support. Rob hosts Mike, Cleon, Chuck and Justin this time around as they discuss the scale and management of their collections/selections. Some bottles are forgotten while others are nursed, to the point of being on ‘life support’. After sharing their individual attitudes and the numbers of bottle…

1:44:28

What the fudge? Our personal whisky rants. This was an epic recording session by five of our Colonials: Rob, Stuart, Mike, Chuck and Gus. In what started out as personal whisky rant catharsis, they meander through so many topics we’re certain this one will go down as a re-listenable classic. With the canny insights of Gus on hand to keep things inf…

1:25:30

The Colonials are patient. They submitted this recording a while ago, it’s made it through the system and now, finally, it’s yours. This could be the extended version. There is some content within that has very little to do with whisky. Actually, nothing to do with whisky. Perhaps it’ll let you understand the team a little more, but we’re not sure …

Gregor asks the team to bring along their hottest drams, by ABV content before going on to ask for their ‘hot takes’ in whisky. Inevitably with these things some controversy ensues. We hope you’re enjoying these video pods, of which we have another couple in the editing room queue. We also have more Colonials podcasts coming hot on the heels of thi…

The Colonials are serious. Not only have they submitted their second episode within a remarkably prompt time window, there’s another hot on the heels of this. Good news if you enjoy it, we suppose. Anyway, Gregor has suggested that, given the difficulties in scheduling, it’s acceptable to proffer the ‘B-team’ now and again. All the while he’s readi…

It’s terrifying what happens while you sleep. With the regular podcast team struggling to get time around a mic, despite genuine efforts, a vacuum has appeared. No podcast episode has been recorded or released since early August. Into this vacuum, we suppose inevitably, a group of Dramface team members have stepped, under well-meaning , auspicious …

New Kids on the Block New is the topic for this session. New distilleries, sure, but also new whiskies, new make and even how the word ‘new’ should actually be pronounced. We cover environment and time and also wonder why Gordon can’t taste effervescence. Yet.

New face and new voices. And new games. A bit late... Of course there’s a huge apology due on this one because it was recorded way back after the Easter break. This means it’s the longest to-edit Dramface podcast yet. However, that record will only stand for a week or so, since we recorded Twenty Eight at the same time and it’s still being edited n…

The Dramface Strikes Back. Again. Covering all the topics we didn’t get to during Podcast Twenty Five.

The Dramface Strikes Back. Self indulgence. Well, a little self-indulgent. But these are mostly always just us hanging out and talking whisky and our own whisky lives, so they’re always a little indulgent. You don’t seem to mind. We finally got to grips with where all the buttons were and hit record in time to hear some impromptu McWee karaoke befo…

The Cheesy Wan. Or - Noobs Attempt Whisky and Cheese. The team try their best to gather similar whiskies and similar cheese, but of course don’t quite get it right. Scatter-gunning the pairings, they work out there’s an art to things and while some pairings hit, others miss. Hard. This is a self-indulgent podcast but we hope you find it as laid bac…

The Twenty wan before the cheesy wan. The prospect of cheese made some of us nervous. It’s not a secret that these sessions are recorded in twos. This session is the one before the cheese pairing and most of us were already sat in front of cheese boards. Gregor insisted we wait. Therefore, this was recorded with the stench of all sorts of cheeses f…
