The Deanston 10 Years Old Highland Single Malt Bordeaux Red Wine Cask Finish is a special bottling from the traditional Deanston Distillery, which is located in a former cotton mill dating back to 1785. Since switching to whisky production in 1966, Deanston has made a name for itself for handcrafted, unpeated Highland whisky.
This single malt is first matured in classic ex-bourbon oak casks, which give it a solid base of vanilla and malt notes. It is then finished in Bordeaux red wine casks, which gives the whisky additional fruity depth and complex tannins from the French red wine casks. This post-maturing gives it a beautiful balance between sweet fruitiness, light spice and fine wood notes. With an alcohol content of 46.3% vol., no chill-filtration and no colorants, this whisky retains its natural purity and depth.
