From Macduff distillery, this is a single malt you may know as Glen Deveron, but a new range of expressions and new packaging in September 2015 also saw a change of name to The Deveron. This is the 12 year old.
Sweet baking spice, toffee apples and ginger.
A core of butterscotch with waxy malt and apple pie.
Wood spice, vanilla and soft oakiness.
A new-look core expression for a single malt that's rightly getting more attention.

….but nothing else going on.
I agree with this review fully: "Decent but something is off for me Interesting comments here... I find with my bottle I'm getting quite a lot of spice and alcohol burn rather than fruit and sweetness oft mentioned here. I liken it to a liquorice taste, which is not really to my liking... however it could just be my tastebuds lately so I'll probably shelve this for a while and try some others in the meantime before I return. No final judgments yet for sure." I found something off with it as well and too much burn/some sharp flavour there for my liking. Can't really justify going back to this, sorry to say.
You know what - it's an uncomplicated, perfectly delicious dram for a nice malt moment. It's not an "integrity bottling" and it's not something to sit for hours picking over for tasting notes - it's a balanced, easy going whisky for a little dram without thinking. I really quite like it, and for under £35, with the way single malts are going, it's very good value for money.
Very light tasting scotch. Some will like it’s subtle taste, as others may find it lacks character and some complexity.
