Reviews for Deanston Virgin Oak
Punches above its weight..
A remarkable NAS Highland Single Malt. Classic malty, honey & heather profile, with a hint of baking spice and a long finish for a young scotch. Surprisingly, the new oak does not dominate the flavour profile. Competes well with the Tomatin 12 or the recent revision of the Classic Laddie...both of which are $10-15 CAD more unless the LCBO has a decent sale. Also, good on the distillery for bottling at 46% ABV!

Very Flavorful Scotch,Easily drinkable.
I have drank this, this is probably one of the most flavorful scotchs I have had , it also has hints of vanilla in it. but MoM description is very accurate. It wasnt that expensive for a Scotch of this quality which was surprising. I would definitely recommend this.

Would definitely buy more
Caught this on sale, bought 4 bottles. WOW am I glad I did!!! Easy on the pallet with awesome finish! Worth twice the money when weighing bang for the buck.

Perilously easy drinking
A VERY pleasant, easy drinking whisky with bags of character. It's sweet and smooth. The MoM notes are accurate - honey and toffee and spices - and I got American cream soda. Once this bottle's gone, I'll certainly buy another.

Great for the price
I picked this up at my local store on sale for 16 dollars so I bought two. Wow this stuff is much better than I thought it would be. It is young but a fantastic value even at full price. Very light, NCF, and no E150 added which is sadly rare now a days. The higher proof really makes a huge difference as well. Much better than Glenlivet and Glenfiddich for less money. The tasting notes nail pretty much nail it other than I don’t get any smoke although I usually drink heavily Peated malts so that could be why.
