Deanston Virgin Oak Review
So you love Bourbon and want to venture into the world of Scotch? This is the bottle for you. This whisky is aged in a two-step process, starting in ex-bourbon casks and then finishing in new oak barrels. The mixture of these vessels primes the aromatic profile, providing a fun array of spicy wood, banana, and caramel. The palate is earthy with malt character, but the high ABV keeps things bright.
