Deanston 12 Year Old typifies the citrusy, malty, honeyed, and waxy house style the distillery creates through its unique production process. The multi-award-winning single malt Scotch whisky is made from unpeated barley, sourced from the Scottish Highlands, and is bottled without chill-filtration or additional colour.
“It’s like a lawnmower has exploded in your mouth - it’s freshly cut grass, it’s sweet green fruits, it’s summer in a glass,” says master blender Julieann Fernandez.
Honeycomb, barley sugar, cut grass, and a touch of lemon oil.
Creamy vanilla, malt biscuits, and toasted oak with hints of nutmeg.
Lingering sweet citrus and spice.
Recently retired after 35 years in the perfume industry I am starting to build a small collection for entertaining. Deanston is my local distillery and I'm not disappointed in this addition, with every mouthful I find subtle notes of all kinds. Definitely a worthy alternative to the fashionable Islay smoke bombshells!
This is such a wonderfull whisky, perfect summer dram and at a very nice price.
Fantastic find. Just heard about the Deanston 12 recently. I’m usually all in for Islay. The more peat the better. But this dram offered me an excellent alternative. Well balanced sweetness, long pleasant finish. Perfect digestive, espresso and tiramisu just got so much better.
A new discovery and one I will definitely return to. Smooth and easy to drink with a great finish. Fantastic value.
Deanston was the first scotch I ever tried, and after going on a journey of discovery tasting various different whiskies from all the regions, it remains my number 1! Deliciously malty, resinous, barley sugar and fresh wood.. with a finish that lingers long after your last sip. Overall an amazing dram and I would highly recommend to anyone whether you are experienced or not!
