Deanston Cut Your Wolf Loose Edition #16 Single Moscatel Wine Cask Whisky 12 Year Old · 2012 Vintage
In stock
They don’t tend to chase the usual suspects, and this Deanston fits the brief perfectly. Distilled in 2012 and matured for 12 years in a full-size Moscatel pipe, it was bottled at a robust 55.8%.
Not the sort of cask one encounters every day particularly from this self-sustaining distillery. Limited to 550 bottles and offered at a notably appealing price, it’s the kind of release that prompts the question of why more aren’t doing things this way.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Inviting and expressive, like a warm, freshly baked birthday cake with a soft Moscatel glow. Bright, bready notes carry gentle confidence, lifted by ginger spice and a twist of orange peel.
Palate
Warming and comforting, evoking the surprise of discovering a hot cross bun tucked away for later. Layers of baking spice, candied ginger, and a honeyed waxiness linger pleasantly. The Moscatel influence is present, though subtle and slightly elusive.
Finish
Medium to long, balancing sweet oak with a polite lift of pepper. Clean and assured—never overstaying its welcome, yet leaving a lasting impression.
