Deanston 9 Year Old (Cask 95) Dràm Mòr

Product Description

Housed in the site of the old cotton mill around which the town was formed, Deanston distillery has always been at the heart of the local community Cask Number: 95 Cask Type: Refill Bourbon Hogshead, finished in 1st Fill Malvasia Madeira One of only 274 bottles available worldwide Tasting notes: Colour: Translucent Yellow Lemon Nose: Honeyed sherry notes to start leading you to subtle vanilla with a gentle overlay of palm sugar maturing swiftly to cacao. A touch of sea salt and prune compote. Palate: Complex and dry there’s liquorice with just a touch of linseed oil hiding behind it. Crisp and clean the flavours disappear quickly only to reemerge after a brief second for a big finish of rum’n’raisins. Great viscosity. Finish: This whisky is all about the finish, there are tannins pulling in the cheeks, sweet black pepper and a hint of good sherry all belying the relatively sedate palate. The flavours grow until your mouth is filled with honey and plum brandy long after the dram is done. A grower not a shower.
