We’ll commence with the youngest expression from Watt Whisky’s second batch of releases – a 12 year old Dailuaine that’s been matured in an ex-bourbon hogshead. 312 bottles were released at 57.8% ABV and for the reasonably priced ask of £54.95 from The Whisky Exchange.

The underrated Dailuaine seems to be getting a little more traction by enthusiasts of late – and rightly so, this distillate is something of a go-to for me – for all seasons. Sponge has amalgamated two refill hogsheads of 1997 Dailuaine creating 365 bottles of 48.8% 25 year old goodness. I’m eager to get stuck into this one…

Across the myriad tasting note sites out there, texture is rarely touched upon in any great depth. Low ABV bottlings are invariable noted as being “thin”, Clynelish is doggedly described as “waxy” even when some expressions exhibit this characteristic much more readily than others. Throughout my writing for The Dramble, I’ve tried to add my thoughts on spirit weight and ‘mouthfeel’ into my notes as much as the rigidity that the ‘nose, palate, finish’ construct allows. But it’s far from straight-forward. As we all taste individually, so too do our mouths also ‘feel’ individually.
