The Deacon

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.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose A mixture of earthy and sweet smoke, with candied citrus.

Palate Balanced peat, with some spiced fruitcake, and more zesty orange.

Finish Smoky, with drizzles of caramel.

Reviews for The Deacon
Delicious, different, refined smoke.
I'm a big fan of all things, peaty, smokey, islay etc. I do not think this is heavily smoked, as some reviews have said. Not compared to Laphroaig or port charlotte.

This is not a bad thing.

It is smoothe, delicious with a hint of smoke that's not over powering. It's not a complex or nuanced palate, but it is smoothe and delicious. The finish gently glides in a warm hint of smoke, that fades too soon but complements the palate well. For those who like a hint of refined smoke.

You are paying for the bottle
Thin, meh, to be expected.
These fancy bottles never have anything worth it inside.

Sweet Jane
I bought this on the strength of the name - which happens to be the nickname of one of my favourite guitarists - Steve 'The Deacon' Hunter. Turns out it is well named - like 'The Deacon's' playing there is complexity but not at the expense of it being accessible. There's a hint of smoke, good depth and a fine finish. I'd have liked to see this bottled at 45-46% ABV at this price - but that's a mere detail.

Amazing new whisky!
Really interesting new blended scotch . Packaging is really cool. Sweet, smokey, easy going peat flavour. Makes a fantastic Penicillin cocktail!
