The Deacon is a blended Scotch whisky brought to you by Sovereign Brands (the name behind hits like Bumbu Rum and Luc Belaire). Called The Deacon after its Scots meaning for an expert or master tradesperson, this whisky blends some well-crafted smoky Speyside and peated Islay whiskies, bringing you a beautifully balanced, smoky sipper that also works well in cocktails.
A mixture of earthy and sweet smoke, with candied citrus.
Balanced peat, with some spiced fruitcake, and more zesty orange.
Smoky, with drizzles of caramel.

the worst i have ever drink
This is the worst whiskey I can remember drinking in almost 20 years! The level of smoke was simply over powering, it tastes like I'm licking a charcoal at the bottom of a used bbq. It lingers badly, it's a smooth as gravel and lingers like traffic on the m25 in rush hour. Even coke couldn't save it. I will possibly just at a wee nip to make a smokey Joe in future but that's all that can be done with it. Great bottle, terrible product
I managed to get a hold of ‘The Deacon’ on a Christmas Offer. At the price I paid I bought it just for the bottle. But it’s actually really nice and easy drinking. Not the Big Smoke you will get from an Ardbeg or similar but an easy drinking whisky that isn’t too complex yet still has some flavours and a nice hit of peat.
Well what a surprise this was... saw the bottle and thought gimmick! But reading the description oboot blending speyside and Islay it quickly got my attention as a peat heed, so got hame tried it and Oh Yes! It's a delightful smoke bomb ?
Should've believed what the many reviews on the internet were saying. Basically this is form over function. The bottle is great but what's inside is indrinkable.
