Deanston Un-Chillfiltered Finished Virgin Oak Casks Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Deanston Virgin Oak is a distinctive Highland single malt that showcases the influence of new American oak casks. Distilled from 100% malted barley, it undergoes maturation in ex-bourbon casks before a finishing period in heavily charred virgin oak barrels sourced from the Kelvin Cooperage in Kentucky. Bottled at 46.3% ABV without chill-filtration, it retains its natural character and depth.

On the nose, it offers a vibrant bouquet of lemon zest, sweet barley sugar, and hints of apple and nutmeg. The palate reveals a delightful sweetness reminiscent of candied fruits and vanilla toffee, balanced by heather honey. The finish is marked by a satisfying light spice, leaving a rewarding burst of honeyed malt and sweet oakiness.

This expression is ideal for those seeking a full-bodied, unfiltered whisky that highlights the craftsmanship of Deanston and the unique influence of virgin oak maturation.
