2011 A.D. Rattray Cask Collection Deanston 12 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

We can no longer claim Deanston as 'under the radar' as it's now well-established as a favourite among the hardcore in the Scotch whisky community. Their best whiskies almost defy categorisation, and the myriad of flavours encountered in this refill barrel make it suitably challenging to pin down. Rattray sum it up as "cereal and herbal". Bourbon barrel 800049 filled 208 bottles at 59.9% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Notes from the bottlers... Colour: Soft gold. Nose: Torn sourdough, pink grapefruit and camphor oil. Palate: Barley sugar, green cardamom and crushed lemongrass. Finish: A complex medley of cereal, fruit, mineral, herbs and spices.
