Deanston Virgin Oak

The Virgin Oak provided more Pepper than anything else in this dram. Nose: Cereal, Fruity, Oaky, Honey, Cooked Spiced Apples, Banana Custard Palate: Pepper, pepper and more pepper. The Distiller critique recommends no water but you will need 0.25-0.5 teaspoons per ounce of distilled water to lighten the pepper enough to get anything else. Once I added some water I got. Fruitiness. Some Fresh green apple Peel. And some miscellaneous cooked/dried fruit can't put my finger on it. You can find the banana for sure. Finish: Short, Peppery with bitter Green Apple Peel. A nice sipping budget Malt but nothing to write home about. If you find it on sale pick it up and give it a try otherwise. Meh you'll get more out of any glenlivet or Glenfiddich. 83 points Cheap NAS Malt.

Again a good whisky for the price. Not a lot of complexity. The fruity body with the new oak finish is definitely strong. There’s a grainy brightness and green apple to this that I find usually in a Irish whisky. Very drinkable even with the slightly high proof. A good dram to enjoy with your friends.

Nose:蜜瓜 香草 香蕉飴 Taste:波本 木質 香草 Finish:黑巧克力 加水後 奔放的熱帶水果

Solide petit scotch ! Goût de fruits et d’épices. Ressemble un peu à un bon bourbon! Assurément super pour débuter une soirée, avec un petit bonus de fumée à la fin. Quelques points supplémentaires pour la valeur. Semblable au Old Pulteney 12 ans. Bouteille ouverte en mai 2021.

Fruity nose with apple notes and hints of cinnamon, smooth palate with caramel and hints of salt, oily mouth feel. Relatively slow, subtle finish.

Cactus-y, agave, creamy syrup, maple. Palette de tire d’érable. **Quality for the price
