Single Malt
Scotland
1 Jan 2002
A limited edition release from Deanston - these are always a treat! This was is a 17 year old single malt which has enjoyed a finishing period in organic Pedro Ximénez casks. Ought to be an intriguing dram, we reckon...
This bottle was part of a private collection and may show signs of wear if of a certain vintage - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Rum-soaked fruit, enjoyably malty with a good whack of milk chocolate.
Malted milk biscuits dipped in coffee, crunchy brown sugar, a whisper of dried peels and bright sultanas.
Ginger, clove and honey.
Very interesting whiskey. This needs time, and some oxidisation. Open, and leave for a few months is my advice as I didn’t quite warm to it initially. How they kept the pale colour after px casks is amazing and indeed there is not that rich px flavour. Much could be said about this whiskey but to be honest, it’s one that you will need to experience to appreciate. It’s huge, rich and very rewarding and I have ordered another bottle. A very hidden gem!
