Deanston 10 Year Old Bordeaux Red Wine Cask Finish 70cl Whisky
Deanston 10 Year Old Bordeaux Red Wine Cask Finish
Originally released for the Travel Retail market, this 10 year old single malt from the wonderful Deanston Distillery was finished in casks that had previously held red wine from the world-famous Bordeaux region of France. This wine cask finish has imparted a full-bodied sweetness to the whisky, balancing its creamy, malty notes with splashes of damson, cherry and just a hint of dark chocolate. A superb late night dram, this one.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Toffee apple, raspberries, waxy peels, a touch of grist.
Palate
Boozy berry sweetness and toasty oak, plus some dark chocolate mousse later on. A little red chilli heat.
Finish
Peppery on the finish, though its still got strawberry and orange oil for balance.
