Deanston 12 Years Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Highland single malt that perfectly balances tradition with exceptional craftsmanship?

The Deanston 12 Years Highland Single Malt represents everything remarkable about Scottish whisky-making heritage. This unpeated expression showcases the unique character that comes from Deanston’s historic distillery, powered entirely by renewable hydro-electricity from the River Teith. What sets this apart from other Highland expressions like Glenmorangie’s 12-year offering is its distinctive waxy texture and naturally sweet profile. For collectors seeking even more premium Highland experiences, consider exploring aged expressions like The Dalmore 21 Years.
