Deanston say ''We’ve always had a love for transforming things here at Deanston. Striving to be and to do better. Some people don’t like change. Keeping things as they are. Comfortable. Good enough. Not us. We see change as an opportunity. A chance to kick open the doors, transform humble ingredients into something truly exceptional, making whisky that’s never dull.''
This special dram is far from average. The first of the experimental, limited-edition releases. Deanston Tequila Cask Finish celebrates spirit with true highland character. Deanston single malt, from the Scottish Highlands, matured in traditional Oak hogsheads and finished in hand-selected casks that once held Agave Tequila from the Jaliscan Highlands, Mexico. The Result? Fruity, floral notes from the tequila casks complement the versatile, waxy, citrus character of Deanston. A fresh, fruity burst on the nose. Sweet, rich, dry on the palate. Warming spice and sweetness of caramelised agave.
