- This 2002 Deanston single malt aged 15 years in Marsala wine casks, bottled at distillery strength (55.2%), draws its character from the wine cask influence rather than traditional ex-bourbon aging. Expect notes of cinnamon, dried apricot, ginger, and baked apple layered over the distillery's characteristic creamy malt base. A distinctive bottling suited to those seeking wine-cask complexity from a Highland distillery.
