Deanston Malt 8 Year Old 1980sHighland Single Malt Scotch WhiskyDistillery Bottling 75cl 40%A nice old bottling of Deanston Malt 8 year old from the 1980s. These were spicy, slightly fruity and quite full bodied drams with a nice soft waxiness. Deanston is quite an underrated distillery, but never judge a book by its cover. These older bottlings are a fantastic whisky and display characteristics of a classic old school whisky. Attributes Distillery Deanston Bottler Distillery

Master Distiller Billy Walker has selected a limited number of octave casks to be bottled as the Glenglassaugh Octaves Classic

elegant and compelling stuff that we've come to expect from these older Benriachs

Rosebank distilled in the 1970s is very hard to come by these days and with the distillery being closed in 1993 it's only going to get harder
