  2. karloff scored this whisky 85 points Specialist

    I bought this at the distillery, why? Because I liked it and I haven't had it before, it's not as if Deanston has a wide range to choose from. 
    • Nose
      Vanilla, ripe banana, orange zest, custard cream biscuit, Mango jam, new balsa wood ,the stuff you get with a model airplane, some cooked pasta and some spice, not sure what. 
    • Taste
      Cream cake, banana sandwiches like my mother used to make in thick white bread with lots of butter, some white pepper, it has a nice creamy mouth feel, you can taste lots of new wood and ice-cream wafer. 
    • Finish
      A long to medium chalky finish with some sort of banana flavoured candy.

    700ml bottle / ¥3000 @ Yamaya.

    Appearance: Pale gold, bit of orange, almost straw golden. Oily though.

    Nose: Vanilla, honey, citrus, pear, bit boozy, light wood, flowery, green apples, wood spice, ginger.

    Palate: Citrus honey, flowers, vanilla, butter, caramel, apples, cinnamon. Nice, full, oily body. Nicely malty and sweet.

    Finish: Peppery, spicy, honey, oak tannins, booze.

    With Water: Softer nose. More spice and heather. Flavor also opens up nicely, floral and fruity, spicy, malty. Yes, just a touch makes it great.

    Overall: Dig this. It is young and somewhat green, but a complex and delicious one. Sweet, for sure, but tasty and fabulous value, especially compared to J. whisky prices.

  7. GTATurbo scored this whisky 79 points Member Senior

    Nose - quite harsh alcohol initially, followed by banana, pear, and a little red apple

    Palate - warm apple pie, oak, slightly bready notes

    Finish - quite short. Strong at the start but fades quickly

    Overall, decent value
