"Sweetened cherry pie, with green grapes on the side and awarming cup of English Breakfast tea, too on the nose.The palate gives sunflower oil, linseed, and some light notes of peach before developing intoa finish of green fruits, star fruit and anise" International Wine & Spirit Compettion, July 2017

Quite aromatic on the nose, with balanced American oak notes. Floral, malty, grassy, vanilla and honey with hints of tobacco and nutmeg. The palate is sweet and spicy, citrus, barley sugar, gingerbread, Manuka honey and white pepper flavours. Finishing with a dry and spicy with a warming gingery honeyed tail.

Brought together by a shared craft, the inhabitants of Deanston have spent many decades inspiring a commitment to innovation, authentic craftsmanship and community spirit. The story of the Deanston Distillery has inspired them, in the production of many Single Malts, and the hand crafted techniques which give them the fresh, honeyed sweetness Deanston whiskys are known for.

The 18 Y.O was originally laid down in hogshead casks our Master Distiller, Ian MacMillan, transferred this Deanston single malt whisky into carefully selected first fill Kentucky bourbon casks and returned them to the heart of our vaulted warehouse at Deanston Distillery. With meter thick stone walls and roof this unique warehouse ensures a steady temperature that provides year round, smooth and even maturation. Here the casks have slept, undisturbed, in the quietest part of the warehouse only to be awakened when the Master Distiller was confident in the quality and excellence of the spirit. The Deanston signature profile of sweet, honeyed fruit with a deep rich finish has been amplified to reach perfection. Deanston 18 Year Old is the very best that nature, knowledge and patience can provide. Un-Chill Filtered, this addition to the Deanston family retains all of its natural flavour and character.
