Deanston – 2007/2021 Signatory Vintage (70cl, 63.9%)

A 13 year old Highlands single malt from Deanston, distilled in 2007 and bottled in 2021 by Signatory Vintage in a 70cl bottle. The whisky spent its whole maturation in a first-fill sherry cask and was bottled at a cask strength of 63.9% vol, without chill-filtration or colouring. The nose is usually described as ripe fruit, raspberries and cherry, with honey and vanilla. The palate is oily and buttery, with blackcurrant, apples, raisins, spice and oak. The finish is long, with wild berries, pepper, thyme and a pleasant spiciness.
