Deanston Whisky Cocktail Suggestions
|
Deanston's Virgin Oak expression is an
award-winning Single Malt Scotch Whisky
from the Highlands, it’s a
no-age-statement known for its uniquely
waxy texture that comes from a long
fermentation and a slow distillation.
Crafted by hand and matured in
ex-bourbon casks, creating its subtle,
honeyed but zesty character. The golden
spirit is then finished in Virgin Oak
casks, adding subtle spicy aromas and
making it the perfect whisky to use in
cocktail serves.

stunning Speyside region in Scotland, it

the distillery has created a series of
1890’s inspired cocktails, perfect to
raise a toast to 125 years of history
and heritage. Taking inspiration from
the Victorian era, Speyburn’s cocktails
