Hunter Laing Old Malt Cask Deanston 14 Year Old 25th Anniversary Edition

Hunter Laing Old Malt Cask Deanston 14 Year Old 25th Anniversary Edition is a limited-release Highland single malt Scotch whisky celebrating 25 years of the Old Malt Cask collection. Distilled in September 2009 and bottled in October 2023, this single-cask expression was matured in a refill barrel and bottled at 50% ABV. Aromas of fresh apple, golden caramel and creamy custard introduce a rich, fruit-forward palate supported by sweet malt and delicate herbal notes. The finish is lingering and gently warming, with a touch of sweet oak. Presented in the collection's classic green-and-gold packaging, it is bottled without chill filtration or added colouring.
