Deanston 12 Year Old 2009 (cask CM279) - The Golden Cask (House of Macduff)
Deanston
Tasting Notes
This single malt whisky from Deanston Distillery is a true delight for the senses. Aged for 12 years in an ex-bourbon cask, it showcases a rich and inviting aroma of barley, toasted oak, and zesty citrus peels, complemented by hints of soft pears and a dusting of cinnamon. On the palate, it unfolds a creamy and indulgent lemon curd flavor, accompanied by a subtle ginger kick and the delightful taste of waxy honeycomb. Underneath, earthy vanilla and coffee notes add depth and complexity. As the whisky lingers, a floral malt character emerges, drizzled with honey notes, and finishes with buttery oak and delicate spice. This remarkable expression, bottled at a robust 65.2% ABV, is a splendid addition to The Golden Cask collection, with a limited release of 284 bottles, making it a true gem for whisky enthusiasts.
