Warehouse 4: Deanston 1997 Pedro Ximenez, 23 years old

A new cask for November 2020 in Warehouse 4. Filled to a Pedro Ximenez butt in February 1997, has lain undisturbed in Warehouse 2.

The result of the full maturation in Pedro Ximenez cask is this luxurious, rich dram, bursting with sweet sherry notes and Christmas spice. On the nose there are sherry soaked raisins, Swiss chocolate syrup and wood polish. Tremendous oily mouthfeel, sweet meets savoury, cured meats, cocoa, Christmas spices - cloves which is a tell tale sign of Deanston. Black Forest Gateaux, mace/floral nutmeg on the finish.

Our hand filled Deanston Warehouse 4 whiskies:

These are single cask bottlings, very limited in number, selected by our Master Blender and our visitor team.  Once the cask is emptied, unfortunately it is never to be repeated!

Please note, this whisky is hand filled by our visitor team straight from the cask.  As the whisky is not filtered, you might find particles in the liquid, which are entirely natural from the whisky maturation process and the cask, e.g. pieces of charcoal from the charring of the cask.   

The whisky is sold as is and no refunds will be given as a result of this process.  In addition, we will not be responsible should the whisky be held in customs. 

Nose

Sherry soaked raisins, chocolate syrup, and wood polish
