Description
This was distilled at the Deanston distillery on the 16th December 1992. It then spent 19 full years in a single refill hogshead before we bottled it on the 20th November 2012. 260 bottles were drawn from the cask.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Peppermint cream chocolate followed by spearmint with a little fresh-ground coffee and cocoa powder for richness on the nose.
Palate
Peppermint on the first sip, but oaky vanilla and firm malt are the main characters which play off one another with exceptional balance. Beyond this there are elegant notes of exotic spice, kiwi fruit and double cream.
Finish
The finish is incredibly long with notes of Bourbon cask spice, rich toffee and rhubarb crumble in equal quantities.
Overall
This Deanston is a minty dram with a chocolatey richness and subtle notes of juicy fruits beneath this. A grand showing from this Highland single malt.
