About Drambling On
Drambling On is where structure loosens, curiosity takes over, and the real whisky conversations begin. This is the beating heart of the Dram1 whisky blog — the place where I step beyond formal whisky reviews and allow myself to, quite literally, ramble on about whisky.
If whisky reviews are the what, Drambling On is the why.
At its core, Drambling On exists because whisky is endlessly fascinating. Every bottle is the result of hundreds of decisions — from barley selection and fermentation length to still shape, cask type, and warehouse location. Whisky education shouldn’t stop at definitions or beginner guides; it should evolve as your curiosity does. That’s exactly what this page is for.
Drambling On is also home to whisky distillery spotlights — both well-established names and distilleries that are still quietly finding their voice. Whisky is changing fast, with new producers pushing boundaries across the world, and I love taking the time to explore what makes each distillery tick. Their philosophy, their experiments, their successes, and sometimes their missteps. Understanding distilleries adds context to the whisky in your glass, and context makes every sip more meaningful.
As a whisky blog, Dram1.com has always been driven by curiosity rather than clicks. Drambling On embraces that fully. Not every article here is designed to tell you what to buy. Some are about how whisky is made. Some are about why certain styles resonate emotionally. Others are personal reflections on how whisky fits into life — its seasons, rituals, and shared moments. If it helps deepen appreciation for the spirit, it belongs here.
This is also where opinions live. Thoughtful ones, considered ones, but opinions nonetheless. Whisky doesn’t exist in a vacuum, and neither should discussion around it. From trends in maturation to transparency in labelling, Drambling On gives space to explore the bigger conversations shaping the whisky world today. You don’t have to agree with every take — in fact, I hope you don’t. A good whisky blog should invite dialogue, not dictate conclusions.
What connects every article on this page is passion. Real, slightly obsessive, endlessly curious passion. These posts are written because something about whisky sparked a question that wouldn’t let go. Because a distillery did something interesting. Because a method, a cask, or a flavour profile deserved more than a passing mention in a review.
So if you’re looking to learn, to think, or simply to wander a little deeper into the world of whisky, you’re in the right place. Drambling On is where whisky education meets storytelling, where distilleries become more than names on labels, and where a whisky blog becomes a conversation rather than a catalogue.
Pull up a chair, pour a dram, and let me ramble.
