Deanston 12 Ruby Port Barrique

The Deanston 2012/2024 1st Fill Ruby Port by Best Dram is a remarkable single malt whisky that impresses with its special maturation and high cask strength. Distilled in 2012 and bottled in 2024, this whisky spent its entire maturation period in a first-fill ruby ​​port barrique, giving it a unique variety of flavors. With an alcohol content of 57.7% vol. and the cask number 59, it is a real highlight for connoisseurs and collectors.

On the nose, the Deanston 2012/2024 unfolds a rich bouquet of dark fruits, especially black cherries, which are accentuated by the port wine maturation. On the palate, this fruity intensity continues, accompanied by notes of red berries, sweet malt and a subtle spiciness. The texture is full-bodied and velvety, while the finish is long and warming, with a hint of oak and a pleasant sweetness.

This bottling from Best Dram impressively shows how storage in a ruby ​​port cask can enrich the aromas of a single malt. The combination of the typical Deanston characteristics and the influences of port wine results in a complex and harmonious whisky that can be enjoyed neat or with a splash of water. A must for lovers of special cask maturations and strong whiskies.
