Deanston 15 Year Old 2007 Tequila Cask Finish

Out of Distell's mighty three Scotch distilleries, Deanston have long led the charge when it comes to experimental casks, proving how splendidly versatile their whisky is. This 15 year old Deanston was finished in ex-Tequila casks from the Jaliscan Highlands of Mexico, a region noted for fruity and vibrant tequilas. The result is vibrant indeed, with ripe pineapple, mixed nuts and a light hint of oak. On the palate comes the real agave hit, then popping with baked apples and custard, before the return of nutty notes and spice, all at a wonderful 52.5%.
