Deanston 12
The Deanston 12 year old highland single malt scotch whisky.
A whisky that is appreciated and loved by a lot of whisky enthusiasts. Great value, great whisky.
To me, it was quite boring the first time I sat down to taste it. Maybe I had other expactations, as that may color the experience. I left it to rest in the bottle for a while and came back to it. I now understood it more. It is mostly a bourbon matured whisky. Although it is not my favorite, and not a bottle I choose that often, it is a quailty scotch and I understand the attention it gets and deserves.
Malty, honey, vanilla, fruity in the background. Spices. Long.
Deanston was founded in 1965. Owned by Burn Stewart Distillers (Distell Group).
Loved by many, but not my favorite.
