18 users have left a review for this whisky and scored it an average of 81.77 points

  1. Martin1965 scored this whisky 86 points Expert Senior

    • Nose
      Fruity, apple, nutty, dried fruit
    • Taste
      Oily, creamy, nutty, raisins, light orange
    • Finish
      Medium length, dry and a bit bitter

      Why only 40% ????? Would be really good with a few percent more.

    • Nose
      Begins at first very dark with sherry tones, an oily nuttiness and earthy accents. In the background it's pretty bubbly. Then becomes increasingly fruity after various dried fruits such as figs and apricots, but also flowery, accompanied by a delicate salt note. Overall, very balanced and tender. Over time, orange, salt and a distant smokiness.
    • Taste
      Surprisingly salty, slightly metallic, smoky and old-fashioned. Then goes more and more to the sherry tones accompanied by tart nuts, tart red fruits like hawthorn and some leather. Becomes more floral and slightly honey-toned over time.
    • Finish
      Long, smoky, tart nut tones, raisins and earth.

    A pleasant, unpretentious Speyside whisky. Of course you could complain here and say: diluted! Colored! Filtered! Yes, One should mention that. In terms of taste, the "The Deveron 18 years" is not a high-flyer, but not bad either. In summer you can really enjoy this whisky.

    • Nose
      Fruity mild with tropical fruits and blood orange. Caramel is added. Overall, pretty cute.
    • Taste
      Very round and mild. A bit thin and not very intense, you can notice the 40% alcohol here. A flowery and light Speyside whisky. Vanilla sweetness, rather Bourbon stored as a sherry keg (there is no official indication). After some time, but then full and creamier.
    • Finish
      In the finish comes some pepper, really pepper and no sharpness! and light spice from the barrels, slightly bitter-woody.

    While the nose did not seem very impressive to me, I really enjoyed the taste and the finish. Well OK, I generally like Speyside, so not much of a shock here.
    • Nose
      80 80
      Scaled back fruits and some nuts.
    • Taste
      84 84
      Very mellow, unprovoking, pleasant The fruits are there, maybe a bit of chocolate and the cask of course
    • Finish
      83 83
      Medium long, pleasant, warming, the casks are there again.

  6. larswehmeier scored this whisky 82 points Expert Senior

    • Nose
      Apple Cake. Raisins. A few nuts. A touch of cinnamon. Smells wonderfully Christmas and pleasantly heavy and ripe.
    • Taste
      Mild and creamy, he comes to the tongue. Oily in the mouth. Raisins. Nuts. Sweet coffee chocolate. Mild oak on the palate.
    • Finish
      Pretty long and aromatic. Will dry late. Mild oak but no bitterness.

  7. Collegiate scored this whisky 80 points Expert Junior

    Really underwhelming sample I got of this one. Found it pretty sharp for an 18yo at 40%. Not sure I would even take it over Deveron 12yo, which is less than half the price here.

  8. Lorion scored this whisky 77 points Expert Senior

    Delicious.
    • Nose
      Apple and nut. Fresh, unusual for 18 years. But then comes the oak, and that clearly. Chocolate, slightly sweet.
    • Taste
      A little weak on the chest. Sparkling, slightly sweet apple. Nutty chocolate, bitter chocolate.
    • Finish
      Medium long, slightly bitter, nutty.

    leaves you wanting more. but the sample is gone now and I surely won´t buy a bottle before they rise the strength.
    ha! there you have it!
    • Nose
      they do not say which kind of casks they used but it´s probably a mixture of 2nd fill bourbon and only a few sherry casks.
      nice malty notes with aromas of danish pastry filled with apple compote. a little vanilla, a little honey.  roasted chestnuts
    • Taste
      oh my, this is so weak on the palate and it could be such a nice dram at a higher ABV. only 3 percent. I don´t know what distillers think when they decide to waste the potential of a whisky.
      light caramel, malt, pastry again, red apples, hints of cinnamon.
    • Finish
      short to medium.
