Welcome back to our 10th series!

On this Episode, Stu and Andy try the intriguing blended whisky from That Boutique-y Whisky Co, which is a 21 year old Blend of Japanese & Scotch Whiskies. Given the lack of information available on which distilleries the whiskies come from, can they use a bit of detective work to figure out where the component parts come from (spoiler alert: No) To accompany the whisky, the lads play some songs that have a mix of genres, to complement the mix of whisky genres in the dram itself. This leads to an eclectic playlist of tracks of all styles! The episode also has the usual features of the Dramier League table and the science bit, and the Listener bit guest is the enigma that is @derekcuster on twitter (listen on to find out if that's his real name!).

An explosive (or not...) final episode of our fourth season in which we try a Gordon & MacPhail cask strength Miltonduff whisky, which was 20 years old and an absolute beaut! We were lucky enough to sit down with G&M's very own Ben Bowers at the Newcastle Whisky festival and discuss how the company is evolving, and try the whisky itself.

Merry Christmas to all This Is My Dram listeners! Our Christmas special is (accidentally!) all about Glenfarclas. Andy and Stu bought each other Christmas presents then each had to try their present blind. It turned out that the presents were coincidentally the Glenfarclas 105 and the Glenfarclas 1996 Premium Edition (bottled in 2017). Other than the lovely Glenfarclas whisky - the lads share some more of their favourite alternative Christmas music, a bit different from the usual selections at this time of year!

Like pt.1, this episode was recorded at the Whisky Lounge York Whisky Festival, and features a tasting we did of a Glen Moray 1994 sherry cask, single cask single malt Whisky that Sorren Krebs (find his blog here: https://ocdwhisky.wordpress.com) had brought along for a bit of a tasting during the interval at the festival. Also involved were Ed Milner (@MrEdwardMilner on twitter) and his friend Tom.

A Brand new series starts with a spooky Halloween special ('cos nobody has thought of that idea before...right?). We review a That Boutiquey Whisky Company 22 year old single malt bottling from the Mortlach distillery.

In this BIG series finale, Andy & Stu are joined by Carl Reavey from the Bruichladdich Distillery for an interview about the distillery itself and the whisky they are reviewing on this episode: the Classic Laddie. This whisky was a listener suggestion (thanks Daniel Hoper!) and we were challenged to create a playlist of songs related to the whisky by picking songs outside of a bands usually genre (to reflect the unpeated Islay dram... usually associated with heated whiskies). You'll hear songs from Nirvana and The Futureheads amongst others as a result. Thanks for everyone's support and help with series 3 - we can't wait to be back with series 4 and hopefully a few surprises up our sleeve. Sláinte!

PLEASE NOTE: we recommend you listen to S3E5 before this episode. In this extra bonus episode of the podcast, Andy & Stu review a whisky they think they may dislike in this relegation dram special: 808 Whisky. This Whisky is named after the famous Roland TR-808 drum machine, which links nicely in with the idea of our podcast... if only the Whisky was as good as the drum machine... We also play one of the most famous songs to feature the TR-808, and This Is My Dram superfans (our mums, basically) can hear the origins of the famous (!) This Is My Dram theme tune. Enjoy!

Follow This Is My Dram on Twitter @thisismydram and check out the brand new website thisismydram.com. Sláinte!

Andy & Stu discuss the joys of Kilkerran Whisky and play tracks from musicians who have released music under alter egos/alternative names, given that Kilkerran is released under a different name to the Glengyle distillery where it is created. The lads are also joined by the Regional Sales Manager at Kilkerran, David Allen, who gives us an insight into the Whisky and tells us what we can expect from Kilkerran in the future. Meanwhile, we have the usual features: The Science Bit and The Dramier League table, and we ask listeners to suggest local whisky shops in their area and share on twitter using the hashtag #buylocalTIMD... Enjoy! This is My Dram is licenced to play full tracks thanks to a LOML licence from PRS.

Back with another jam-packed episode! Andy & Stu have a very special guest this episode as they speak to the creator of the whisky they are reviewing... Angela D'Orazio is the Master Blender at Mackmyra, and has created the gorgeous Mackmyra Ten Years, their first age statement whisky. The lads review the Whisky itself and create a Swedish playlist to go with it, playing 5 tracks in full on the playlist including a song selected by Angela herself. The also try the new make spirit "Vit Hund" to compare how the whisky evolves during its 10 years in the casks. We also announce the results of our first ever competition to win 5 drams of Whisky. Remember to follow us on Twitter @Thisismydram, and check out our blog http://thisismydram.wordpress.com. This is my Dram has a LOML licence through PRS which allows them to play full songs.
