Deanston Virgin Oak Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Out of stock
Virgin oak is new American white oak that has not been used as a cask before so has not been flavoured by anything but the spirit of the distillery. You may have seen or tried Auchentohan, Glen garioch or Benriach versions of a virgin oak release. Now it is the turn of South Highland Deanston to offer up its take on Virgin oak. Lots of very direct spicy coconut, white chocolate, vanilla, milky mocha and toasted oak.

Tasting Notes

Bright golden honey with warm amber undertones, a sunlit, creamy gold.
Nose
Fresh, summery aromas of heather honey and vanilla, green apples, citrus zest, with hints of sweet malt and spice.
Palate
Candied fruits mingle with soft creamy toffee, bright citrus zest, and a hint of ginger and clove, with toasted oak lending warmth that lingers.
Finish
Lightly spiced and bright, the finish unfurls with honeyed malt and citrus, finishing in a gentle, sweet oakiness that lingers long on the palate.
