We are huge fans of transparency and of Japan and Japanese whisky so were delighted to read the news this morning (on Whisky Fun, where else?) that the Japan Spirits & Liqueurs Makers Association (JLSMA) has announced new labelling standards for Japanese whisky, meaning that if whisky is labelled as being Japanese it actually has […]
Yes, you read that right. We don’t bottle at cask strength. Looking at the strengths we bottled our first two releases at you’d be forgiven for thinking we did, but we don’t. Allow me to explain. According to the SWA; “The term ‘Cask Strength’ should not be used on labels unless the product is bottled […]
We had hoped to be welcoming you all to our new Campbeltown premises in May for our first ever Watt Whisky & Friends Open Day, however sadly Covid has other ideas, so this is just a wee heads up about our virtual festival plans. We have decided to keep things fairly small and simple for […]
We have been very remiss and haven’t added any details of our new release to our website yet. Apologies, apologies. We will remedy that immediately with this blog post and then upload the official product shots to our Range page in due course. So without any further ado, our 2nd release consists of; Dailuaine 12yo […]

We’ve been working away behind the scenes trying to get a web shop up and running (not for whisky, just for branded Watt Whisky merch) but it’s proving a bit more time consuming and complicated than we first thought. I’m sure we’ll get there eventually. In the meantime though, we have created a few products […]
There’s been a lot of love online for Watt Whisky since we launched a few weeks ago. Think the first review appeared on Whisky Notes for our Blended Malt, swiftly followed by reviews of the whole range on the Malt Review, the Dramble and Words of Whisky. All have have been very positive which is […]
LOTS of controversy this week surrounding a certain whisky publication and its author’s use of language. Rather than write a piece criticising said author or debating whether his use of language is sexist, sleazy or just plain sad (or all of the above) I thought I would instead focus on books which I think do […]
Our first release is just about to be bottled which is very exciting. Unfortunately, cause of the Covid, it may be a while til we get to see any of you in real life but we are very much looking forward to sharing a virtual dram or two with you in the meantime! Here are […]
