Deanston 18 year Old is first aged in hogshead casks before being finished in first fill Kentucky Bourbon barrels at Deanston Distillery. The result is a whisky with a smooth, buttery nose that has touches of malt along with pineapple, coconut, vanilla, and oak notes. The taste has a good balance of honey, ginger snap cookies, pineapple, mango, and a touch of dark chocolate. The finish has lingering spices, a touch of citrus fruits, and a subtle oakiness. The 18 Year Old reflects the very best that nature, knowledge and patience has to offer.
