Whisky "Virgin Oak" - Deanston

Deanston Virgin Oak is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky matured in American oak casks previously used for bourbon, then finished in brand-new American virgin oak casks. The result combines the character of a Scotch single malt with that of bourbon.

Deanston distillery was born in 1966 in a former cotton mill, with its first bottle released in 1974. Amber gold in colour, it shows virgin oak, lemon zest and barley sweetness with apple and nutmeg. The palate is sweet with candied fruit and vanilla, balanced by honey; the finish is lightly spicy with honeyed malt, sweet oak and dried fruit. 46.3% alcohol.
