Description

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.

Nose

Honeycomb, barley sugar, cut grass, and a touch of lemon oil.

Palate

Creamy vanilla, malt biscuits, and toasted oak with hints of nutmeg.

Finish

Lingering sweet citrus and spice.

It's alright but had a lingering aftertaste

Looking for something a bit less expensive I had bought a case of this one recently for the store and took one home tonight. This certainly does not hold up to the last few bottles I had, which were admittedly more expensive - Springbank 15, Springbank 10, and MacAllan 12 sherry cask. It was reminiscent of the MacAllan 12 on the entry, a sweet highland single malt but a bit hot on the finish due to the proof. Flavors were typical highland, caramel toffee with a touch of smoke, all fine and good. But the aftertaste and finish left a taste of cardboard in my mouth for quite a long time, and I have to say it was disappointing. I might use this for godfathers or something, would not really recommend it although the lingering cardboard finish is the only negative I have it is a big one.

Very easy to sip. With or without a splash of water

Smooth up front. Not harsh on the finnish. A pleasant surprise given the price.

Thomas Ruiz Nov 26, 2017

Not complex, yet good.

50ml Poured into a scotch glass: Nose: Prominent orange and zest, with underlying cereal tones. First taste: salinity, a bit nutty and saline tasting. Caramel flavor, but not overly sweet. (I think the saline flavor off sets it) The finish is "soft" with no burn, does not linger. 2nd taste, more of the same, but a little sweeter. Overall i like this. Not overly complicated and not smokey at all. This is simply easy to sip on. I prefer this over Glen 12. Doesn't drink like a high abv scotch. No burn on the nose or palate.

Pleasantly surprised

Have been drinking scotch whiskey for 35 years. Bought this one on a hunch! Didn't want to spring for a bottle of Oban and thought this Deanston was fabulous and right up there with my favorite Oban!

Master of Malt Customer Dec 5, 2016

Not impressed

I splurged on a bottle of this and now seriously regret it. Based on my experience, I do not recommend this if you enjoy sipping whisky neat as I do - I don't know if I got a bad batch but it didn't sit well at all and made me feel ill after I'd only had a shot's worth, and I'd call myself an experienced whisky drinker. Not sure whether to let friends try it after the experience. I'd say the 46% is too noticeable and doesn't go down smoothly. Flavour profile is on the spicy side, not particularly delicious but not bad.
