DEANSTON 2008 BORDEAUX CASK MATURED
Deanston 2008 Bordeaux is a Scottish single malt of 58.7% ABV, aged 9 years aged with French wine barrels in European oak.
Add 3-5 drops of water to this one and let it sit for 3 minutes, don’t brave it at cask strength (you won’t enjoy it). This is a icing sugar sweet, spicy, wine influenced monster. When cut with water the barley sugars pop out and let the scotch out from behind the wine curtain. This is not a scotch for the first timer or uninitiated. I’d suggest trying a Deanston with no “wine cask finish” first to get acclimated.
WQO Score: 84
