Whiskybase

Food Pairing: Peach tart, honey-glazed nuts, buttery shortbread, roasted hazelnuts, mature cheese or vanilla crème brûlée.

Tasting Notes: A mature, fruit-forward Highland single malt combining floral honey, ripe orchard and melon fruit with Deanston’s characteristic malty and waxy character.

Nose: Citrus oil, cream, orange blossom and peach develop into floral honey, ripe fruit, melon, hazelnut syrup, wax, toffee and salted butter.

Palate: Rounded and juicy, with ripe fruit, ginger and sweet malt joined by pepper, warming spice and a mineral character.

Finish: Long and textured, leaving lingering fruit, spice and mineral notes with a pleasantly chewy character.

Serve: Best enjoyed neat at room temperature; a few drops of water may help open the fruit, floral and waxy characteristics at its natural cask strength.
