Deanston 17 Year Old 2002 Pinot Noir Cask Finish

A limited edition expression, this is the first time using this type of cask for Deanston whisky.

Limited to 5604 bottles, this 17 year old single malt is light and crisp with a delicious malty creaminess.

Given that Pinot Noir grapes are good enough to make Champagne, that most regal of sparkling wines, we hoped Pinot Noir casks might be worthy of creating a finish for our soft and honeyed malt. And you know what? They most definitely are. Notes of vanilla, citrus and sweet white wine are delivered with a zing so zesty, you can practically hear them.

Light gold.

Nose

Light and crisp, orchard fruits followed by creamy vanilla and oak, giving way to a subtle hint of green grape.
