Description
Deanston 2007 'Tequila Cask Finish' Highland Single Malt is an experimental, limited-edition release that exemplifies the character of Highland whisky. Aged for 15 years and finished in hand-selected casks that previously held Agave Tequila from the Jaliscan Highlands in Mexico, this unique expression offers a harmonious blend of fruity and floral notes with sweet, warming nuances. The nose is fresh and inviting, featuring aromas of ripe pineapple, crème brûlée, mixed nuts, and light oak. On the palate, it presents a rich yet dry texture, bursting with flavours of caramelized agave, toasted almonds, and baked apples with custard. The long finish showcases brown spice and sweet citrus bursts, making it a delightful and intriguing whisky for adventurous palates.
