Deanston Virgin Oak

Mellow sweet aroma. Maybe some peach or fruit? Strong peach flavor on the tongue, but not much else. Medium rich, short tail. Pleasant, but a little one dimensional.

Nose is grainy and sweet honey - light altogether, but a notable dose of ethanol heat that only comes in an occasional wave was a bit of a surprise at the proof point. However, to be clear, this is an enjoyable nose. Sweet, light citrus flavors dominate this malty pour - I think the big surprise is that the palate is heavier than I would have expected based upon the nose. Minimal oak presence, but what is here is pleasant and complimentary. This makes for a better-than-average pour, particularly for the age (and price point), especially if it is a 2 or 3 finger type of night...

If you're a bourbon lover, you will enjoy the oak influences here. I find this less sweet and more vanilla, leather influenced, as you might expect from the barrelling. I would try this on bourbon drinkers that claim "I don't like scotch."

Heerlijke zachte whisky met volle afdronk. Lekker zoetje/fruitig. Tonen van vanille in geur en smaak
