Bottled by Decadent Drinks Ltd, this release is Edition No.64 in their Whisky Sponge series and is a mix of two refill hogsheads of 1997 Dailuaine origin from Speyside, bottled at natural cask strength of 48.8% ABV after 25 years of maturation.

Whisky Sponge hilariously comments;
“Two reasonably low-volume hoggies were mashed together and this is the rather delectable 25 year old result. Shows plenty maturity at a hyper-gluggable natural strength without any overt woody elements. Please enjoy this Dailuaine quietly in a forest glade while wearing a cape and pretending you are in an expensive cinema advert for life insurance” hehe!

About Dailuaine Distillery
The Dailuaine distillery was built by William Mackenzie, a farmer from the Speyside town of Carron in 1852 and derives its name from the Gaelic ‘An dail uaine’ meaning ‘green valley’. Rarely seen as a single malt expression other than the occasional Flora & Fauna from owner Diageo, Dailuaine is one of the many hard-working distilleries which quietly provide fillings for blends such as Johhny Walker and independent bottlings for Gordon & MacPhail amongst other large and small IB’s such as Whisky Sponge
