Deanston Bordeaux Red Wine Cask Finish 10 Year Old

Description

Brand: Deanston
Category: Whisky
Type: Single Malt
Region: Scotland – Highlands
Strength: 46.3% alc/vol

Originally released for the Travel Retail market, this 10 year old single malt from the wonderful Deanston Distillery was finished in casks that had previously held red wine from the world-famous Bordeaux region of France. This wine cask finish has imparted a full-bodied sweetness to the whisky, balancing its creamy, malty notes with splashes of damson, cherry and just a hint of dark chocolate. Superb!!!

Tasting notes:
Nose: Rich grapes, wine notes, honey, caramel sweets and subtle spices.
Palate: Dark chocolate, a hint of caramel syrup, red wine, honey and sweet malt.
