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.
Golden dram from the edge of the Highlands, Its light, refreshing and clean. Heaps of Citrus, I could detect lime, but sweet and floral with honey and buttered toast notes, the nose and taste seem to evolve in the glass to be followed by a gentle light floral finish, with, perhaps, a hint of chocolate ? Perfect neat and perfect at 46.3%
Just love it - no harshness or bitterness - great to sip before a meal or afterwards.
Creamy, honeyed sweetness and subtle hint of vanilla oakiness. Faint hint of lemon citrus and some cereal flavour with a dryish finish. Very drinkable but less interesting/satisfying than Balblair 12 or Arran 10 which deliver more lemon and vanilla flavours.

A slightly briney smell, a bit reminiscent of brandy, but in a good way. Thickly full bodied, slightly sweet and rich. The malty tones are not too prominent, and the spirity burn manageable. For a 12 year old, and for this price, it's more flavourful and better integrated than most other single malts I can remember trying. Non chill filted and 46% make a huge difference. Definitely recommend
