Deanston Pinot Noir Cask Finish Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 17 Year Old · 2002 Vintage
In stock
An interesting wine cask release from Deanston as part of the 2020 Limited Edition series Pinot Noir finishes add a lovely delicate creaminess and subtle red fruit character to whiskies and this marries beautifully with the fruity character of Deanston's new make. With notes of vanilla, citrus and sweet white wine, the flavours are delivered with a fruity zestiness.
While not carrying the high age of some of the other releases, this is a great malt that might well fly under the radar.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with a warm copper sheen and a whisper of rosy blush.
Nose
Light and crisp on the nose, orchard fruits lead to creamy vanilla and oak, opening to a subtle hint of green grape.
Palate
Dry, crisp and malt-forward with a rich hit of tannin shaping a firm, structured palate. Subtle red-fruit notes emerge beneath a whisper of Pinot Noir creaminess, accented by vanilla and citrus, delivering a lively, zesty finish that lingers with creamy malt and bright acidity.
Finish
Long acidity gives way to a malt-driven creaminess, leaving a silky, lingering finish with a touch of warmth.
