Deanston 12yr Oloroso Cask Matured Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky - 2008

Item # 45470 750 mL

We may be going out on a limb, but the annual limited releases from this distillery and its fellow stable mates of Tobermory, Ledaig and Bunnahabhain are some of the best Scotch Whiskies coming out these days. This one-off vintage release was drawn exclusively from spirit distilled in 2008 and aged for twelve years in first fill Oloroso Sherry Casks. The flavors are explosive with candied walnuts, preserved black cherries, treacle, allspice, toffee and deep seasoned oak. Bottled at cask strength with zero coloring or additives. Spectacular.
