An easygoing sipper from Deanston, this single malt was matured in a combination of first and second-fill ex-bourbon barrels. Filtered for a soft, buttery profile, it ought to work rather well as an alternative to bourbon in all kinds of classic cocktails.

A decent bottle although not the Deanston I have known over the years. A liitle sweet but not too much, some bourbon but only a little and a bit too spirity to be real quality. Nevertheless it is value for money
I took a punt on this version of Deanston for two reasons; the need for a credible budget whisky option and the known pedigree and quality of a Deanston single malts. This Kentucky cask matured offering is available for not a lot of money. I found the nose distinctly Deanston, the palette is quite pleasant and promised more; mouthfeel is also acceptable, but of course it lacks the oomph of an integrity strength of 46.3% ABV (as per its big brother). As expected for a non-aged statement / 40% whisky, the finish was a short one however, the overall impression after a few neck pours is very positive for a single malt at a price point circa £20. My fear given that this is promoted as a Kentucky (i.e. bourbon) cask was that the whisky would be too sweet. I can assure you it is not so. Instead you get a recognisable Deanston profile, albeit one that doesn't linger. Would I buy again - yes. If you want an easy going pre-dinner aperitif on a budget, the DKC ticks a box or two.
