Deanston Orange Wine Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 17 Year Old
Out of stock
In 1966, founder Brodie Hepburn transformed a forgotten cotton mill into the Deanston Distillery — a Highland distillery where heritage meets innovation and flavour leads the way.
Orange Wine Cask Finish is the latest chapter in that story. The spirit first rests in ex-bourbon casks for 15 years, building the honeyed richness and waxy depth the distillery is known for, before an unexpected yet entirely intentional curveball: a rare two-year finish in Vino de Naranja casks — a fortified wine made with sun-dried orange peel and aged the old-school way in a solera system.
This unconventional cask choice delivers a burst of Spanish sun - notes of zesty orange, fragrant honey, toasted nuts and sun-soaked fruit - all wrapped in Deanston’s rich, rounded mouthfeel.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Freshly peeled orange zest, marmalade, and dried apricots upfront, layered with honey, toasted almonds, and soft malt sweetness. Hints of white flowers, light oak spice, and a subtle herbal edge reminiscent of chamomile tea.
Palate
Tangy citrus oils and blood orange lead, balanced by stone fruits, sultanas, and a malty biscuit core. The wine cask influence brings a vinous depth with notes of orange blossom honey, ginger, gentle nutmeg and a hint of wood spice.
Finish
Zesty finish with lingering orange peel and a touch of oak.
