AFWERKING

Long warming finish with dark fruit and ginger fades into rum-soaked sultanas and hints of apple brandy, leaving a lingering sweetness.

Deanston’s uniquely waxy, citrus-led spirit has long been a canvas for creativity - its character lending itself to bold new cask ideas. For this exclusive Dramfest 2025 release, we’ve embraced that spirit of celebration, weaving together a 12-year-old Deanston finished in four exceptional casks, each adding its own distinct thread to a richly layered tapestry of flavour. The deep, winter-fruit richness of Amarone, the lively tropical warmth of Rum, the elegant, honeyed sweetness of Cadillac wine and the refined orchard sparkle of Brandy come together in seamless harmony, with a touch of festive indulgence. A celebration of our Distillery's craft and creative thinking, this cask strength distillery exclusive unites four influences into one beautifully expressive Deanston malt.

A whisky shaped by time, imagination and a healthy respect for doing things properly - but never predictably. After twelve years of quiet maturation, this Deanston was carried through four distinctive finishes, each adding its own voice: Amarone’s rich warmth, Rum’s tropical lift, Cadillac wine’s honeyed elegance and Brandy’s refined orchard glow. Our uniquely waxy spirit brings these characters together, allowing each to shine while keeping them beautifully in tune - four finishes, one seamless Deanston expression.

VATTENTYPE

A marriage of 12 Year Old Deanston from four unique finishing casks: Amarone, Rum, Cadillac Wine and Brandy.

NATUURLIJKE KLEUR

With no added colour, the liquid maintains its deep copper hue, showcasing the maturation process and the impact of the cask.

NIET-GEKOELD GEFILTERD

We don’t mess with perfection — our whiskies are non-chill filtered, keeping all that waxy, full-bodied goodness intact. Why fix what isn’t broken?

SMAAK

Think stewed plums, cherry-soaked raisins and dark chocolate melting into charred pineapple and fresh pear, all wrapped in warming spice and soft oak. The finish unfolds in waves of rum-soaked sultanas, apple brandy sweetness and a glow that lingers long after the glass is empty.

In crafting this whisky, I didn't simply marry casks, I wove together stories. Each finish brought its own voice: the depth of Amarone, the vibrancy of Rum, the elegance of Cadillac Wine, and the refinement of Brandy. What you taste is not just a whisky, buy a symphony of time and patience. Twelve years defined by tradition and finished with imagination.
