2008 Deanston, Oloroso Cask Matured, 12-Year-Old, Highland, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (52.7%)

Description

Sherry fans will instantly recognise the fragrant Oloroso influence here: raisins, ginger, roasted walnuts, flamed orange peel, fig caramelised with demerara sugar. Whisps of charred oak tie the sweeter elements together with a lick of savoury balance. The texture is creamy and rich, with more nuttiness on the palate than the nose. Red-skinned toffee apples, nutmeg and white pepper linger on the finish.

Barley

Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
