DEANSTON 12 YEAR OLD 750 ML

A relaunch in fancy packaging for Deanston's single malt, previously famous as the whisky used in the much-missed Wallace whisky liqueur. Trivia snitched from the Malt Whisky Yearbook: Deanston is the only distillery in Scotland that is self-sustaining for electricity, being equipped with a dam and a turbine. NOSE-Fresh hays of summer, malty cereal, rich creamy toffee and honeyed heather balanced with sweet oak and barley sugar. PALATE-Smooth creamy sweetness with sumptuous hints of fruit, malty honeyed spiciness and soft vanilla. FINISH-Crisp and satisfying with a tingle of cloves which linger, then gently fade.
