WHISKY CHARACTERISTICS

ABOUT

The 2011 Bourbon Barrel is Deanston’s boldest flex on our house style. Cask strength, unapologetic, and fully aged in our go-to Bourbon Barrels, this dram is like Highland charm wrapped in smooth American oak. Think honey, vanilla, caramel—basically dessert in a glass—but still leaving plenty of room for that unmistakably waxy, fruit-forward Deanston spirit to shine. Bourbon casks aren’t just a preference here; they’re a full-on love affair, bringing out all the richness and character that make this whisky pure Deanston through and through.

CASK INFORMATION

Bourbon cask maturations are a staple for Deanston as this is where our waxy spirit thrives. These American Oak Barrels get one big debut with bourbon in the US then hop across the pond for an encore in Scotland. Charring gives them all those smooth, sweet, vanilla, and caramel vibes that make Scotch sing—and when they’re done stateside, they’re just warming up for a second act. Besides giving your whisky that rich, mellow character you crave, they’re the ultimate in flavour recycling, making every dram a little more sustainable and a whole lot tastier.
