Deanston - Virgin Oak Cask Strength
Direct from the cask. Delivering intense, robust flavours of warm spice, candied fruit, crisp green apple and a twist of citrus. Non-chill filtered with no added colour, this 58.8% ABV cask strength release is a true representation of Deanston’s unique character and house style.
Nose: Loads of vanilla-flavoured foam blocks, a good amount of ripe bananas and plenty of custard. There’s a tinge of honeycomb, some white chocolate and a few slivers of orchard fruits (apple peel and pear skin, mostly). All the while oak spices linger throughout.
Taste: Creamy mouthfeel. It arrives with the oak spices taking centre stage. Plenty of pepper, ginger, a few cloves. Hints of mulch too. There is an underlying sweetness, highlighted by honey and banana pudding. Just a sliver of beeswax.
Finish: Medium length. Lingering oak spices. Subtle sweetness.
