The Whisky Blues No.096 Deanston 16 Year Old is a single-cask Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled at Deanston on September 23, 2009 and bottled by Whisky AGE on October 7, 2025. Matured for 16 years in hogshead #300845, this limited release was bottled at 56.3% ABV with an outturn of only 171 bottles. The whisky presents a bright, honeyed Highland character, balancing orange and lemon citrus with floral sweetness, buttery biscuit, herbs and gentle spice.

Food Pairing: Pair with roast chicken, glazed pork, buttery shortbread, baked Brie, mild aged cheeses, orange cake, or lemon-based desserts.

Tasting Notes: Fresh and expressive, with citrus fruit, floral honey and herbs supported by creamy sweetness, biscuit notes and a lightly savoury edge.

Nose: Fresh orange juice, floral honey and orange blossom lead into candied orange peel and yellow lemon, followed by sea-salted butter biscuits and aromatic herbs.

Palate: Fresh and gently sweet, with honeyed water, chamomile and stevia-like herbal sweetness accompanied by a subtle waxy and lightly soapy character.

Finish: Lingering herbs and honey are joined by a lightly salty fruit character and gradually developing spice.

Serve: Enjoy neat in a tulip-shaped whisky glass. At 56.3% ABV, allow it time to open and add a few drops of water if desired to soften the strength and reveal more citrus and floral character.
