Description

In their pursuit of crafting exceptional whisky, Deanston's whisky creation team stands apart. They meticulously choose top-tier American virgin oak casks, procured from Kentucky's Kelvin Cooperage. These casks undergo toasting and charring before being filled with Deanston's new make spirit, allowing it to mature for 9-12 months—a finishing approach that strikes a delicate balance. This process enhances Deanston's zesty citrus notes with rich flavors of soft honey, creamy vanilla, and hints of spice, without overwhelming the spirit's character. The result is a unique and outstanding whisky, showcasing Deanston's commitment to innovation and quality.

Tasting Note by Deanston:
Nose: Heady virgin oak, bursting with lemon zest and sweet barley sugar, with delicious notes of apple and nutmeg.
Palate: A delightful sweetness, evoking memories of candied fruits and vanilla toffee, balanced with heather honey.
Finish: A satisfying light spice, with a rewarding burst of honeyed malt and sweet oakiness.

Customers describe this whiskey as "absolutely stunning" and "really tasty" with excellent service. However, some found it unpleasant on the nose with a young taste when drinking neat. Most agree it works well for cocktails and mixing, though customers suggest it's best purchased under £25 rather than full price.

Really tasty whiskey. Great service.

Good for Mixer
Unpleasant on the nose, not smooth and very young taste, good for mixing cocktails. Not recommend drinking neat. Not recommend buying on full price, its a good one under ¬£25

Bought it on sale, too expensive for full price, 12 is very good smooth whisky, but virgin oak, a little bit unpleasant on the nose, young and cheap taste. However it is very good for whisky cocktail / highball. I will buy it again if under ¬£25.
