Score: 91 Points

One of the rare independent bottlings of Dailuane single malt, this 12-year-old whisky is from the Old Particular Midnight Series. The nose has touches of toasted vanilla, butterscotch, honey, charred oak, and tobacco. The taste is thick and chewy with a citrusy tartness and notes of white pepper, honey, toasted vanilla, and charred oak. The finish is long with lingering citrus tartness and a hint of spice.
