Deanston - 16 ans - 2002 - Organic Oloroso Finish - 50,6%
Deanston Distillery is located in Perthshire, in the Highlands of Scotland. Its story begins with the opening of a cotton mill, known at the time as Adelphi. Chosen for its location on the banks of the River Teith, the mill would provide the perfect setting for an innovative new community of craftsmen. In 1808, the mill flourished and as the workforce grew, so did the need for accommodation. The owners saw the opportunity to create a self-contained village and so built housing for 300 workers which still form the centre of Deanston today. Deanston was also the first industrial establishment to issue its own currency. In 1965, when the cotton industry declined, the workforce at Deanston Mill gradually decreased before it closed its doors. The mill was converted to the distillery and in 1974, Deanston Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky was born. The water is drawn from the River Teith, all the malted barley is sourced from local farmers before being milled into grist and tested by hand. The whisky is distilled twice in large copper stills, then reduced with water from the River Teith.
Deanston Organic Oloroso Cask Finish was distilled in 2002 and initially aged for 16 years. It matures for an extra 2 years in casks that previously contained organic Oloroso Sherry. This limited edition produced 528 bottles.
