A classic Island whisky from the oldest distillery in Skye that delivers a rich dried-fruit sweetness, with strong barley-malt flavours and a peaty, peppery finish.
In Scots, a "Deacon" is an adept and proficient master tradesman. The Deacon stands as an homage to craftsmanship in all its forms. Created by expert distillers, it brings together single malts from Islay and Speyside, uniting peaty coastal smoke with a softer, bonfire-like mainland character. On the nose, notes of charred orange, sweet malty biscuits, and woodsmoke emerge, followed by juicy orange, delicate spice, and tangy peat on the palate, finishing long, smooth, and gently sweet with lingering smoke. Distilled in traditional copper pot stills, whose glow inspires the whisky's striking, ornate bottle stamped with its iconic mascot, The Deacon presents an unconventional yet balanced expression.
The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years Old is crafted from the harmonious combination of sherry seasoned American and European oak casks from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. This expression opens with inviting aromas of fudge, candied citrus, vanilla, and soft spice. The palate reveals layers of milk chocolate raisins and creamy toffee, complemented by orange peel and gentle spice, leading to a medium finish with lingering sweet oak. Rich yet approachable, it delivers a smooth and multi-layered sensorial experience.
