Deanston 18 Year Old has a caramel gold colour. On the nose, it's aromatic, floral, with grassy and malty notes, balanced with hints of american oak, honey, tobacco and a touch of nutmeg. There's the sweetness of gingerbread on the palate, followed by vanilla, barley sugar, with hints of spicy white pepper, manuka honey and citrus. The finish shows dry spice with honeyed ginger warmth.
Background:
The community of whisky makers at Deanston only use traditional methods and high quality, local ingredients to produce this unique single malt whisky. Aged in first fill bourbon casks, this exquisite whisky from Deanston has been rested in the heart of the Distillery, in their unique vaulted warehouse for 18 years. The American white oak barrels that once held sweet bourbon, have imparted a golden caramel hue and the characteristic flavours of smooth vanilla and honey.
