Tasting Notes
This whisky from Deanston, a distillery nestled in the heart of Scotland, beckons with its alluring aromas. Imagine freshly baked bread, toasty and inviting, mingling with the comforting scents of oats and a hint of sweet vanilla cream. As you savor the first sip, the velvety vanilla embraces your palate, accompanied by creamy fudge and a delightful biscuity malt character. Unexpectedly, a refreshing burst of pink grapefruit awakens your senses, followed by nutty granola notes that linger pleasantly. The finish is a harmonious symphony of rich roastiness, charred oak imparting depth, candied nuts adding sweetness, and buttery flapjack indulgence. This independently-bottled gem, matured for 12 years in a refill hogshead and bottled without added color or chill filtration, offers a truly captivating whisky experience.
