Deanston Virgin Oak Whisky 750ml
Deanston Virgin Oak is a bright, innovative Highland single malt known as the waxiest expression in the Deanston range. Matured first in ex-bourbon barrels and then finished for up to 12 months in toasted virgin American oak casks, this unpeated malt offers a distinctively zesty, sweet, and spiced profile—described by the whisky makers as "taking a lemon, dipping it into toffee, and coating it with a light dusting of nutmeg."
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: Bright warm amber.
- Aroma: Heady virgin oak bursting with lemon zest, sweet barley sugar, fresh apple, and a dusting of nutmeg.
- Palate: Delightfully sweet with notes of candied fruits, rich vanilla toffee, and balanced heather honey, delivered with Deanston's signature waxy mouthfeel.
- Finish: Satisfying light spice with a rewarding burst of honeyed malt, sweet oak, and subtle dried fruit.
Distillery Craft & Sustainability
- Cask Finish Innovation: The secondary maturation in virgin American oak intensifies the wood sugars, adding vibrant vanilla, oak spice, and citrus oils to the signature waxy spirit.
- 100% Hydro-Powered: Distilled on the banks of the River Teith using 100% hydro-electricity produced on-site at the historic 18th-century former cotton mill.
- Pure & Unfiltered: Craft-distilled using local Scottish barley, non-chill-filtered, and bottled at a robust 46.3% ABV to preserve natural flavour oils and rich texture.
