Tastes

Deep, rich and woody dram. Caramel, dark cherry and cream. Finish is really interesting; it has a little minty tingle. Really unique. Delicious!

Light and easy sipper. Tastes a little younger than 14 years old. Sugar babies, lemon and melted whipped cream. Watery, short finish. Update ... I’m now at the end of the bottle and it hasn’t gotten much more interesting. It’s really young tasting - almost like new make. Would never guess that it’s 14 years old. I hate that I don’t like this one because I really admire what Deanston did with making it 100% organic. But taste buds don’t lie. Would take Hazelburn 10 over this any day.

Nose: smoke and salty ocean fog, dried fruit, caramelized nuts Palate: starts with a punch of smoke and a tingle of mint/herbs that radiates as you breath in - like opening the door of a wood-fired sauna ... followed by rich malt, stone and a splash of seawater. Finish: long and hazy This was one that I needed to take my time with ... at first my tastebuds were confused but I learned that air and a couple of drops of water opened more and more layers ... confusion turned to intrigue and eventually delight. It was a journey but one well worth taking!

Rich but not heavy, complex but easy to drink. Really nice!
