Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery Bottling 70cl / 50.3%
This extraordinarily dark 37-year-old Deanston 1974 was bottled to mark the opening of the Deanston Heritage centre in 2012. As you might have guessed, this 1974 Deanston is from sherry wood - a single Oloroso sherry butt, to be precise.
Bottled at its natural cask strength of 50.3% without colouring or chill filtration, this 37-year-old Deanston was the oldest ever official bottling from the distillery at the time of release - and one of the rarest, with just 102 bottles yielded from the cask. A landmark bottling for Deanston and a real treasure from an unsung distillery.

Admittedly, I haven't tried every whisky in the world. I like the Laphroaig, peaty and uncompromising end of the single malt scale. This is my current favourite. A brutal and beautiful drink. Harsh and refined; sour and sweet. Dangerously tasty. A real find for me, this one.
I acquired mine after someone had poured it away, and used the empty as a candle holder. Despite imbibing this Glenrothes from a drain, it was decent. 57.1% seemed to remove any of the drain ickiness. It has also somewhat dulled the pain I'm still in from recently trapping my, ahem, in my zipper.
