Foosty Puddin 🏴<p>A quiet Sunday afternoon sipping this fantastic Deanston and browsing a music book about The Byrds, written by a friend.</p><p>Of all the Deanstons I have had, this is my favourite. Nine years in Bourbon barrels and finished for three in Pedro Ximenez casks. Probably not a first-fill PX cask, as whilst the influence is there, it's not overpowering the wonderful Deanston spirit. </p><p>Cask Strength at 58.1% ABV, and of course, no chill-filtration or added colour. </p><p>Chocolate, orange peel, and strawberries on the nose, with a touch of water releasing further aromas of dark fruit, including figs and raisins. Lovely and sweet on the palate with more fruit, along with nuts, vanilla and caramel. A beautifully balanced dram.</p><p>Just 2015 bottles were produced, and sadly, all gone now at the distillery, so I will sip and enjoy it while I can.</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/whisky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>whisky</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/scotch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>scotch</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Deanston" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Deanston</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Singlemalt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Singlemalt</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Scotland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Scotland</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/thebyrds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>thebyrds</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>reading</span></a></p>
