- Description
- Deanston's 2008 distillation matured for 9 years in ex-bourbon casks before completing its final 3 years in ex-Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, adding rich sweetness and dried fruit character to the Highland malt's natural profile. The PX finish imparts notes of raisins, dark chocolate, and warming spice, creating a lush, approachable whisky with good weight and texture. This is an ideal introduction to sherried Highland malts, suited to those seeking sweetness without heavy peat.
