Deanston 12 PX finish, NC, NCF, 58.1% ABV.
Vanilla and hints of marzipan and orange, some green apple developing. Quite hot, a bit of water quells that. Spicy clove, liquorice and orange marmalade. Nice waxy mouthfeel and a lingering spiciness.

Just a wee one, keeping an eye on my units.
Whisky Advent #15
Deanston 8, finished in a Banyuls cask. NC, NCF, 55.5% ABV.
This ticks all the boxes for me! On the nose, luscious dark fruit, sultanas, raisins, figs, all coated in sweet, sticky black treacle, similar to a PX finish, only more so. That familiar Deanston waxiness brings dark chocolate, coffee, sweet caramel, spice and more rich fruit. I’m getting a wee hint of Haribo Happy Cola sweeties as well. 😍
An immensely satisfying dram.

A quiet Sunday afternoon sipping this fantastic Deanston and browsing a music book about The Byrds, written by a friend.
Of all the Deanstons I have had, this is my favourite. Nine years in Bourbon barrels and finished for three in Pedro Ximenez casks. Probably not a first-fill PX cask, as whilst the influence is there, it's not overpowering the wonderful Deanston spirit.
Cask Strength at 58.1% ABV, and of course, no chill-filtration or added colour.
Chocolate, orange peel, and strawberries on the nose, with a touch of water releasing further aromas of dark fruit, including figs and raisins. Lovely and sweet on the palate with more fruit, along with nuts, vanilla and caramel. A beautifully balanced dram.
Just 2015 bottles were produced, and sadly, all gone now at the distillery, so I will sip and enjoy it while I can.
