- Description
- Deanston's 2012 vintage matured entirely in a full-size Moscatel pipe for its 12-year life, a choice that defines this bottling's profile at 55.8% ABV. Moscatel cask influence brings concentrated stone fruit, honeyed notes, and a distinctive sweet complexity that sets it apart from standard sherry-matured releases. The texture is rich and viscous, with flavours that linger long on the finish. Best suited to those seeking an alternative perspective on Highland single malt maturation.
