Dragon's Milk Stout Cask 12y

About

Deanston Dragon's Milk Stout Cask is a 12-year-old single malt whisky from the renowned Deanston distillery, located in the Highland region of Scotland. Known for its traditional production methods and commitment to quality, Deanston sources its water from the nearby River Teith, enhancing the character of its spirits. This whisky presents a complex flavor profile that balances fresh flowers, dried fruits, and a hint of citrus. The influence of the unique cask maturation process—utilizing bourbon casks, wine casks, and virgin oak—adds layers of vanilla, caramel, and a touch of briny complexity. The finish reveals notes of ginger and dried spices, making it an intriguing and multi-dimensional dram. In collaboration with New Holland Brewing Company, Deanston uses ex-bourbon casks that once held Dragon's Milk Stout, imparting a distinct character to the whisky. This innovative blend of whisky and stout cask maturation has garnered attention, showcasing Deanston's ability to push boundaries while honoring traditional craftsmanship.
