In Scots language, a “Deacon” is an adept and proficient master tradesman. The expert distillers behind this Scotch fit the name perfectly: The Deacon is an homage to master craftspeople, whatever their trade may be. 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 this blend, the single malts from Islay have a characteristic peaty smoke flavor, 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. Traditional copper pot stills used in the distillation process lend their iconic shine to The Deacon’s stunning bottle, which looks like nothing else on the shelf or back bar, covered in an ornate pattern and stamped with The Deacon’s iconic mascot. The Deacon is the most unconventional Scotch you’ll ever experience. A one-of-a-kind blend that defies traditional Scotch conventions, featuring a bold and complex flavor profile and unique design sure to awaken your senses. A smooth and rich blended whisky that is perfect for those who like to push beyond the horizon.
