TradeCask WHISKY
Wood makes the whisky
No cask, no whisky. It’s in these humble vessels that the spirit finds or further shapes its soul. We're here to help you see the wood from the trees with a cask crash course.
Deanston Virgin Oak
Deanston takes spirit first matured in bourbon before giving it a bold second life in new oak. The result is a vibrant Highland dram where creamy sweetness meets zesty citrus and lively spice, showing American oak at its most expressive. Oh, and Deanston are certified by the Organic Food Association and power its distillery using hydro energy. So you can feel good while you drink good. Double good.
