Deanston 2008 Oloroso Cask Matured (Limited Edition)
In a former life, the part of our distillery where this whisky matured had been a weaving shed (and the distillery as a whole had been a mill). So, in our more nostalgic moments, we think of our Oloroso sherry casks as looms of flavour interlacing the characteristics of their former occupant – a dry nutty sherry – with those of the new inhabitant – our soft, single malt, we replete with treacle toffee and fruit, the whisky is a sensual treat.

About Deanston 2008 Oloroso Cask Matured (Limited Edition):
In a former life, the part of our distillery where this whisky matured had been a weaving shed (and the distillery as a whole had been a mill). So, in our more nostalgic moments, we think of our Oloroso sherry casks as looms of flavour interlacing the characteristics of their former occupant – a dry nutty sherry – with those of the new inhabitant – our soft, single malt, we replete with treacle toffee and fruit, the whisky is a sensual treat. After spending 12 years maturing in Oloroso sherry casks, this special Limited Edition whisky is ready to be enjoyed.
Tasting Notes:
All natural auburn colour leads to cherries and chocolate reminiscent of a black forest gateaux, followed by sweet spice, nutmeg and saltanas. On the palate, treacle toffee, dark fruits and festive spice with hints of mocha and a touch of pine. A long and warming finish with notes of gingerbread and nutmeg.
