Description
‘Cut Your Wolf Loose’ Deanston 2012, 12 Year Old Moscatel Port Pipe Edition #16 is a confidently off-beat single malt, offering something refreshingly different. Distilled in 2012 and matured for its full 12 years in a rare Moscatel port pipe this limited release has been bottled at a bold 55.8% ABV with only 550 bottles available.
The nose presents birthday-cake sweetness and bright bready notes lifted by ginger and a twist of orange peel. The palate follows with a comforting richness, offering baking spices, candied ginger and a honeyed waxiness. The Moscatel influence is present but subtle, adding intrigue without dominating the dram. The finish is medium to long, neatly balancing sweet oak with a polite peppery kick.
