Deanston Virgin Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70 cl & Bunnahabhain Stiuireadair Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700 ml

Deanston Virgin Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70 cl Usually associated with American Whiskey, Virgin Oak breaks away from the traditional Scotch method of maturing and finishing the liquid in previously used casks. Virgin Oak is aged in 100% American Oak casks before being transferred to brand new, straight from the cooperage ‘Virgin Oak’ casks to finish for the last 9-12 months. The casks are sourced from Glaswegian, family run Kelvin Cooperage in Kentucky, Louisville who heavily char the casks before sending them to the maturation halls in Deanston Distillery. The result of this finish is a spicier, sweeter dram, with unexpected maturity for a younger whisky. Bunnahabhain Stiuireadair Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl To create Stiùireadair, our Blender selects first and second fill sherry casks with spirit of varying ages and warehouse locations to construct a dram that truly exposes the coastal nature of our Islay single malt whisky. With a brackish, coastal tinge, this sherried malt will transport you to Bunnahabhain bay, with a smattering of sea spray and dried fruit lingering on your lips. On the nose, dive deep into this Islay malt with notes of dried fruit and creamy caramel with hints of brine, vanilla, nuts and a touch of spice. On the palate, expect a creamy mouth feel with a dried fruit influence, sea salt, creamy caramel with hints of nuts and a gentle spice. The finish is long and lingering with hints of dried fruit.
