WHISKY CHARACTERISTICS

ABOUT

Deanston is proudly cut from a different tartan. We’ve always done things our own way. The Chronicles: Anniversary Edition is a true reflection of that spirit. It brings together six casks from six different decades, each chosen not only for the character it adds to the whisky, but for the chapter of our distillery’s story it represents. In the hands of our Master Blender, these casks are carefully woven together to create something greater than the sum of its parts. The Chronicles embodies the bold decisions and independent thinking that have defined Deanston since 1966.

CASK INFORMATION

A celebration of six decades of whisky-making, distilled into one unified expression. The 1975 Oloroso cask brings rich dried fruits and sherried depth, while the 1980 Refill reveals Deanston’s waxy character through honeyed malt and orchard fruit. The 1991 Virgin Oak adds toasted coconut, vanilla and spice, deepened by the 2006 Armagnac with stewed fruits and grape richness. The 2013 Cadillac Wine lifts with floral citrus and dark berries, balanced by the youthful 2020 Burgundy with red fruit vibrancy. Finished in rare Porto Lágrima casks, adding delicate sweetness, soft aromatics and a refined, harmonising finish.

PROFILE

CASK TYPE

Six casks from six decades: 1975 Oloroso, 1980 Refill, 1991 Virgin Oak, 2006 Armagnac, 2013 Cadillac Wine and 2020 Burgundy, each bringing its own character, unified by a rare Porto Lágrima finish.

NATURAL COLOUR

Deep mahogany in tone - a true reflection of decades of maturation and cask influence.

NON-CHILL FILTERED

We don’t interfere with what time has created. Non-chill filtered to preserve the full, waxy character of Deanston spirit.

TASTE

Six decades woven into one bold composition. Deep richness, vibrant fruit, gentle spice and refined sweetness combine in a true tapestry of time and flavour.

The Chronicles: Anniversary Edition is an amazing showcase of Deanston’s distinctive character. For this one-off release, I selected six individual casks spanning six decades – each chosen not for age, but for the voice it brings to the whisky.
