Deanston Virgin Oak Single Malt Whisky 70cl 46.3% GB

Usually associated with American Whiskey, Virgin Oak breaks away from the traditional Scotch method of maturing and finishing the liquid in previously used casks. Virgin Oak is aged in 100% American Oak casks before being transferred to brand new, straight from the cooperage ‘Virgin Oak’ casks to finish for the last 9-12 months. The casks are sourced from Glaswegian, family run Kelvin Cooperage in Kentucky, Louisville who heavily char the casks before sending them to the maturation halls in Deanston Distillery. The result of this finish is a spicier, sweeter dram, with unexpected maturity for a younger whisky.
