Deanston 18 Year Old

Deanston 18 Year Old is a beautifully mature Highland single malt that showcases patience, balance, and the distillery’s naturally waxy house style.

Bottled without chill filtration, it is a refined yet characterful expression that highlights Deanston’s commitment to traditional production and unhurried maturation.

Tasting Notes

Nose
Soft and inviting, with aromas of honey, toffee, and vanilla leading the way. Notes of dried apple, malted cereal, and gentle oak are layered with hints of nutmeg and sweet spice.

Palate
Smooth and well‑rounded. Creamy oak sweetness and honeyed malt are joined by baked orchard fruits, light toffee, and warming spice. The texture is mellow and refined, with subtle waxy notes adding richness and complexity.

Finish
Long, warming, and elegant, with lingering sweetness, soft oak tannin, and a gentle spice that fades slowly.
