Description
The Deanston 2008 Pedro Ximenez Cask Finish Distillery Exclusive is a cask strength, 12-year limited release that offers a remarkable tasting experience. Initially filled into bourbon casks before being finished in PX casks, this whisky combines creamy strawberries, dates, raisins and orange marmalade with hints of oak, liquorice and leather.
The whisky features an array of complex flavours, including nuts, rich oak, and layers of caramel. These are beautifully balanced with coffee, dark chocolate, sultanas, figs, and a hint of leather. This blend of flavours creates a multi-dimensional profile that is both intriguing and satisfying.
The finish introduces notes of dates and raisins, complemented by orange marmalade, vanilla pods, muscovado sugar and a warm clove spice. Creamy strawberries with hints of oak and liquorice round off the experience, making this a truly stunning dram to savour.
