Deanston Marks & Spencer's Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 17 Year Old · 1992 Vintage

Colour

Dense amber-gold with coppery-bronze hues and a sunlit, honeyed sheen.

Nose

Sherried fruit and dried orchard notes mingle with honeyed warmth on the nose. Vanilla and toffee drift upward, while cinnamon and clove spice illuminate orange zest. Beneath, almond and cocoa hints unfold with rich fig and raisin, hinting at the 17-year oak and a refined, mature cask influence.

Palate

Silky and rich, this 17-year Deanston unfolds a sherried palate of dried fig and raisin, mingling with treacle toffee, dark chocolate and orange zest. Spices bloom mid-palate, carried by warm oak, into a long, elegant finish with toasted almond and caramel.

Finish

Long, elegant finish where sherry whispers linger. Ripe dried fruits, orange zest and toffee unfurl on a bed of spice, wrapped in cocoa and warm oak. The sweetness tapers slowly, leaving a refined, toasty glow.
