Deanston<\/a> has kicked off the New Year in style with the release of a brand new limited edition!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Handcrafted using the best Scottish ingredients, Deanston<\/a> 40 Year Old (45.6% ABV) is unchill filtered for an authentic and natural taste. The spirit has been stored in whisky refill casks before spending the last 10 years of its maturation in Oloroso sherry butts.<\/p>\n Light amber in colour, it has Deanston\u2019s distinctive notes of rich honey, which is balanced with tropical fruit, rich oak, sweet malt, vanilla fudge and a delicate hint of dried fruit. On the palate, the single malt boasts a mouth filling sweetness of pear, apples and sweet malt with a lingering honey finish.<\/p>\n Recently rebranded to reflect its community roots and handcrafted identity, Deanston<\/a>\u2019s new look includes a bespoke bottle and capsule with etchings, that celebrate its rich history as a cotton mill at the heart of its community. The malt is safely secured by a wooden cork featuring a recessed Deanston coin, which also harks back to the days of the cotton mill, when this was used as actual currency in the village.<\/p>\n Deanston<\/a> 40 Year Old is presented in the new custom-made bottle with textured metal labels. This rare release comes in a luxurious box lined with leather and a premium plaque. Less than 500 bottles of the single malt is available in whisky outlets worldwide from January 2017 at an RRP of \u00a31000.<\/p>\n Carina Gous<\/strong>, Distell said: \u201cHeavily influenced by its past, Deanston Distillery<\/a>\u2019s close-knit team have handcrafted and nurtured this special single malt using traditional equipment and methods, barley from local farmers and soft water from the River Teith.<\/em><\/p>\n
