Deanston 28 Year Old Muscat Cask Finish Scotch Whisky 1991
Deanston 28 Year Old Muscat Cask Finish Scotch Whisky 1991 is a 45% ABV (90 proof) single malt distilled in October 1991 and bottled in 2020 at 28 years old — a limited edition of just 1,402 bottles. After long maturation in whisky refill casks, the spirit spent roughly two years (from June 2016) in Muscat wine casks, emerging non-chill filtered with no added color and a rich copper hue. It was part of Distell's August 2020 release of eight limited-edition single malts. The official notes promise summer in a glass: sweet perfume, peach, and fruit crumble. A 700mL bottle for collectors of aged Highland malt. Add it to your collection — order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

1991 to 2020: 28 Years, One Cask Story
Most 28-year-old whiskies are blends of casks; this Deanston tells a single story. Distilled in October 1991, it rested quietly in refill casks for over two decades before a finishing move into Muscat wine casks in June 2016 — two years of sweet-wine influence on top of a quarter-century of slow oak. Bottled in 2020 as one of eight limited editions Distell released that August, it is capped at 1,402 bottles worldwide. The Muscat finish shows exactly as intended: official notes read sweet perfume, peach and cereal, and fruit crumble on the nose; a full-bodied, indulgent, mouth-coating palate with oily citrus; and a short finish with a hint of cocoa.

How to Enjoy
Neat, in a tulip glass — 28 years and a wine-cask finish deserve undivided attention. A teaspoon of water opens the peach and perfume. This is a collector's bottle; if you open it, share it with someone who'll appreciate the story.
