The team at Deanston 17 Year Old got their hands on some Pinot Noir casks and used them to mature some whisky for the first time! This expression is a 17 year old single malt, which enjoyed a finishing period in the aforementioned Pinot Noir casks. Enjoyably fruity, with lots of green apple and grape notes to enjoy.

Given that Pinot Noir grapes are good enough to make Champagne, that most regal of sparkling wines, we hoped Pinot Noir casks might be worthy of creating a finish for our soft and honeyed malt. And you know what? They most definitely are. Notes of vanilla, citrus and sweet white wine are delivered with a zing so zesty, you can practically hear them.”

Distilled & filled into whisky re-fiill casks on 13th of December 2002. Transferred into Pinot Noir Casks 14th June 2018. A 17 YO Single Malt First time using a Pinot Noir cask for Deanston whisky.

An interesting wine cask release from Deanston 17 Year Old as part of the 2020 Limited Edition series Pinot Noir finishes add a lovely delicate creaminess and subtle red fruit character to whiskies and this marries beautifully with the fruity character of Deanston’s new make. With notes of vanilla, citrus and sweet white wine, the flavours are delivered with a fruity zestiness.

While not carrying the high age of some of the other releases, this is a great malt that might well fly under the rarar.

Nose:

Freshly sliced green apples, with a hint of leafy forest floor earthiness and soft vanilla.

Palate:

More vanilla and apple, now with subtly sharp green grape coming though.

Finish:

Milky tea, lemon and malt.
