A 2015 addition to the Deanston range, this expression has been matured for 18 years, including a finishing period in first-fill Kentucky bourbon casks. It was bottled without chill filtration at 46.3% ABV. Oodles of rich honey, luxurious vanilla, sugary shortbread and a touch of fresh ginger.
Enjoyable earthy vanilla up front, paired with Golden Grahams, honeydew melon and flint.
Lemon cheesecake and orange boiled sweets, shortly followed by stem ginger and beeswax.
Oily walnut and barley.

Delivered on time and what a treat it is, better than a malt that are in three figures. Buy one you won't be disappointed
Fond of a broad range from lagavulin to linkwood to oban to lochnagar. I like peaty and this is anything but. Yet full and fabulous. This seems t have it all.
Done the distillery tour, this 18yo was included in the tasting session, after tasting it, I immediately wanted a bottle. Perfectly balanced
Thought I'd give this a go based on MOM reviews. To me, it's a little harsh for an 18yo but a drizzle of water smooths it out quite nicely. Would I buy again? No, I'd rather spend this amount on my current fave, a Glengoyne 15yo.
I bought this as it appeared recommended next to a Clynelish 14 and I was looking for something just a little bit more high-end. In short, it was a crushing disappointment. Not even in the same class. Total waste of money for me, and I really can't see how it's in this price bracket.
