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.
Delicious. Definite orange on the nose. With a lovely sweetness when first supped. This is a lovely 12 year old. Wish I had bought more.
Very impressed with this, apart from being unchillfiltered and without colouring, aspects I really apreciate because a more natural product, is a classic single malt(ex-bourbon cask). Malty with a spicy burst that spread all the mouth. Well done Deanston, I love it, simple, classic without the trend of finishing whisky in something else.
Starts honey sweet, moves into a walnut character, finishes with hints of smoke. Easy to drink, clean.
I'm surprised by the number of positive reviews. I found this extremely ordinary, nothing particularly unpleasant but most blends have more to them than this.
A solid Scotch for the price. Well-rounded and smooth, with a nice nose.
