The Chronicles Anniversary Edition

About

The Chronicles Anniversary Edition marks Deanston's 60th anniversary by blending six casks from six decades of production. Each barrel tells a story: the 1975 Oloroso brings rich dried fruits and sherried depth, while the 1980 refill cask reveals Deanston's signature waxy character through honeyed malt and orchard fruit. This is no ordinary anniversary release — it's a vertical history of the distillery in a single bottle. The finish in rare Porto Lágrima casks adds an unexpected dimension: citrus peel and soft floral sweetness cut through dark chocolate and spice. The result is layered without confusion — honeyed malt and baked apple form the foundation, with dark chocolate, dried fruits, and a subtle prickle of spice woven through. The finish is long and elegant, with warmth that emerges from that blend of old cognac notes and leathery texture. This is a whisky that rewards patience and attention.
