- Description
- Deanston's 13-year-old, independently bottled by Signatory from a single first-fill sherry butt at cask strength (66.6% ABV), demonstrates how young maturation in rich wood can yield concentrated results. Sherry cask influence would dominate the Highland spirit's character, contributing dried fruit, spice, and oxidative depth. Bottled without chill filtration in 2022, this Cask Strength Collection release of 583 bottles preserves natural colour and full-bodied texture. Best suited to those seeking sherried Highland character at maximum intensity.
