- Description
- Deanston's 12-year-old was distilled in 2008 and matured entirely in Oloroso sherry casks, bottled at 52.7% ABV to preserve the richness of its maturation. The sherry influence dominates the profile, delivering concentrated dried fruit—particularly raisins and dates—alongside honey, oak spice, and subtle nuttiness. The Highland distillery's lighter new make spirit combines with bold cask influence to create an approachable yet characterful single malt ideal for those enjoying sherried Scotch.
