Why we chose this cask
Deanston is known for honeyed, waxy malt. Thirteen years in a single ex-bourbon barrel laid toasted coconut and vanilla cream over the top, with baked orchard fruit and buttery pastry underneath. Soft, generous and sweet at cask strength.
One cask, 245 bottles.
Who it is for
For the drinker who goes back for a second slice of coconut cake.
Sweet, creamy and easy-going at cask strength, with enough orchard fruit and gentle oak to keep it from being only dessert.
Flavour profile
Tasting notes
Toasted coconut leads, like a freshly made coconut snowball, all sweet malt and vanilla. Soft orchard fruits and buttery pastry follow, with gentle oak, delicate baking spice and a fresh barley note that keeps the spirit at the heart.
Creamy and mouth-filling. Honeyed malt and vanilla give way to toasted coconut and soft caramel, balanced by baked orchard fruits and gently supportive oak. The finish is long and gentle: toasted coconut and soft oak spice fading into vanilla cream and honeyed malt.

The cask
Nº 1009About Deanston
HighlandDeanston sits on the banks of the River Teith at Doune, in the southern Highlands, inside a cotton mill built in 1785. It became a distillery in the 1960s and still makes its own electricity from the river. The house style is honeyed, waxy and fruity, and unpeated. Drawn from a single ex-bourbon barrel, this thirteen-year-old captures that soft, sweet Highland character in one finite filling, never cast quite the same way again.
