Cut Your Wolf Loose bottled this vintage 2012 Deanston single malt after it was left to mature for 12 years in a full-size Moscatel pipe. Bottled at a hearty 55.8%, it's a rich, rewarding Scotch whisky that shows what's possible when independent bottlers are willing to explore and be experimental.
Like someone’s just pulled a birthday cake out of the oven and wafted it under your nose for attention. Bright, bready and a bit smug. A flicker of ginger heat and a squeeze of orange peel keep things lively.
Warming and cosy, like finding a hot cross bun in your coat pocket. Baking spices, candied ginger and a honeyed waxiness that clings on like it’s got nowhere better to be. The Moscatel’s there, but it’s playing hard to get.
Medium to long, swinging between sweet oak and a polite kick of pepper. Tidy and to the point - doesn’t drag its feet, but makes its mark.
