New Wood, Old Craft

Deanston is one of Scotland’s most distinctive distilleries a converted 18th-century cotton mill on the banks of the River Teith in Perthshire, powered entirely by its own hydroelectric turbines. Organic, independent, and fiercely committed to traditional methods, Deanston produces some of the most honest and characterful Highland single malts available. The Virgin Oak expression takes the distillery’s signature rich, cereal-forward spirit and finishes it in new, uncharred American oak casks a bold choice that imparts a distinctive vanilla sweetness and a warming spice that sets this expression apart from anything else in the range.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Fresh and distinctive vanilla cream, coconut, and a warm, woody sweetness with notes of toasted grain, honey, and a gentle Highland fruitiness
• Palate: Rich and warming creamy vanilla, toffee, and a building spice from the virgin oak that develops beautifully over a foundation of Deanston’s signature cereal sweetness
• Finish: Long and warming with lingering vanilla, spice, and a clean, woody oak warmth that fades gracefully
