A limited edition expression, this is the first time using this type of cask for Deanston whisky. Limited to 5604 bottles, this 17-year-old single malt is light and crisp with a delicious malty creaminess. Given that Pinot Noir grapes are good enough to make Champagne, that most regal of sparkling wines, we hoped Pinot Noir casks might be worthy of creating a finish for our soft and honeyed malt. And you know what? They most definitely are. Notes of vanilla, citrus and sweet white wine are delivered with a zing so zesty, you can practically hear them.
