THE DEACON blend is a masterful blend of both smoky Speyside and peaty Islay malt whiskies, making it a complex, rich, and smoky dram. In our blend, the single malts from Islay have a characteristic peaty smoke flavour, while the single malts from the mainland have a bonfire-like smoke character. A nose of charred orange, sweet malty biscuits and woodsmoke gives way to juicy orange, echoing the nose, on the palate, delicate spice, and tangy peat. The finish is both sweet and smoky, long, and smooth.
