Deanston Virgin Oak Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Are you searching for a Highland single malt that showcases the pure, unadulterated character of Scottish whisky craftsmanship?

As a certified spirits specialist, I’m delighted to present the Deanston Virgin Oak Highland Single Malt, a remarkable expression that exemplifies non-chill filtered whisky at its finest. What distinguishes this Premium offering is its maturation exclusively in American virgin oak casks, imparting a distinctive honey-vanilla sweetness rarely found in traditional Scotch expressions. Unlike heavily sherried alternatives such as GlenDronach Ode to the Valley Highland Single Malt or the luxurious Dalmore 25 Years Highland Single Malt, Deanston’s virgin oak approach delivers bright, fruity notes with exceptional clarity.

• Distillery: Deanston – converted from an 1785 cotton mill, powered by River Teith
• Region: Highland – known for balanced, approachable single malts with fruity character
• ABV: 40% – perfectly accessible strength highlighting delicate vanilla and citrus notes
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Exclusively American virgin oak casks delivering maximum wood influence
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals honeyed cereals, vanilla custard, and fresh citrus peel; palate offers creamy malt, coconut shavings, and subtle spice; finish lingers with gentle oak tannins and barley sweetness
• Best Served: Neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, or with a splash of water to unlock floral aromatics

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store have found this expression particularly food-friendly compared to heavily peated or sherried malts. The virgin oak influence creates a surprisingly versatile profile that complements rather than overwhelms delicate flavors.

Ideal for: Weekend gatherings, introducing friends to quality Whisky, or building a diverse home collection. Pairs with: Caramelized char siu, coconut-based curries, buttery kuih, and milder sambal dishes. Recommended for: Those seeking approachable Highland character at RM 175, or collectors exploring regional diversity alongside expressions like Glen Moray 18 Years Speyside Single Malt.
