Deanston Kentucky Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl

Product Information

It's one of these ones where the purity and the precision are immediately there, but there's also a sense of fragrance, seashore and general freshness which elevates it further. Having said that, we're not quite fans of those nasty flat bottles, but there, who cares… Colour: dark amber. I hear at North Star they circumvent Brexit import issues by transporting their sherry casks from Spain to Scotland by Tuk-Tuk.

Deanston Virgin Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70 cl Deanston Virgin Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70 cl

With water: soft, unfurling wispy smokiness now, more citrons, chalk, beach pebbles, grapefruit pith, smoked teas and dried flowers.Finish: long, sandy, very salty, fresh sea air, citric, briny and with a crisp, slightly meaty peat smoke. Smoked teas, dried herbs, ointments, miso paste, salted butter, smoked sea salt, brine mixed with lemon juice and charred shellfish over hot coals. possibly as subtle and delicate as, as, come on, drop Botticelli, say Giovanni Strazza's famous Veiled Virgin! With water: a jeroboam of old balsamico vinegar, perhaps touches of truffle oil, old hessian, and probably even more acetone too. With water: fresh baguette and chalk and porridge are up, but we're still having a huge quantity of fruiticello.

Finish: good length, becoming very tarry, salty, slightly mustardy and with tobacco and thick medicinal notes. It's even got this greasy fatness that we enjoy so much in several high-class malts, soy sauce, as well as a lot of crushed chalk the next morning after a rainy day. Mouth: good, mucho natural indeed, on barley or just grist, then golden delicious and a few orange zests. By using the Service, and by creating an account you represent, warrant and confirm that you are of legal age. With water: medicines, lanolin, coal smoke, tar, oyster sauce, salted almonds, fir wood, antiseptic, seawater.All right, so I'd swear this is some early landed cognac from France, bottled by some friendly Scots, for some German friends. Nose: extremely similar, with similar metallic touches, the usual mirabelles, beeswax and mead, and this slightly tired sourness that you would get from a wonderful Meursault… the next morning. Plus, I'm sure we could make some tenuous argument about doing this in a session with Port Ellen and it being the new alongside the old. With water: becomes softer and more fragrant with kelp, sandalwood, preserved lemon, bergamot and other hints of smoked tea and dried herbs.
