Sovereign Brands, known for producing popular spirits like Bumbu Rum and Luc Belaire, brings you "The Deacon" - a blended Scotch whisky. Deriving its name from the Scots term for a skilled tradesperson, The Deacon marries some of the smokier whiskies from Speyside (they do exist!) with peaty ones from Islay, offering a balanced, smoky beverage that also pairs well in cocktails.
On the nose, expect a blend of earthy and sweet smoke, complemented by candied citrus. The palate reveals a well-balanced peat, nuanced with spiced fruitcake and additional bursts of zesty orange, finishing with a smoky tail and caramel nuances. Garnering recognition as a "Summer 2023 Best Value" by Whisky Advocate, The Deacon provides a distinctive Scotch experience with its rich, complex flavours and intricate bottle design, inspired by traditional copper pot stills used in its distillation.
