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.
Nastiest stuff I ever sipped. Forced down half a bottle. Poured the rest down the sewer.
Nose: fresh and light, with citrus Palate: Smooth and seaside feel.. Finish: nigh on perfect end for me. warm, controlled and more orange and lemon
Beautiful light taste with lots of fruit and sweetness. A lovely oily texture which masks the actual alcohol proof of the Malt, and as a result makes it far too easy to indulge!! A superb Malt Whisky. After all this time and past experiences of lovely Malts, this is my favourite.
I only drink Taliskar and Deanston 12 yo it’s fresh, light, subtle and the antidote to peaty, seaweedy, heaven
It's been over a decade since I have had this and wow it is so much better. Malty, nutty and zesty with a nice balance of sweetness and a long finish for a 12 year old. I really can see why people are starting to talk about this distillery.
