The Deveron 12 Year

Very yummy. It wasn’t in your face bold. Dig the sweetness (caramel) and the wood.

Nose: Sherry, dried fruits (figs, dates), soft ground spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, caraway, powdered ginger), brown sugar, light bouquet garni, fresh cut daisies!, apples and pears. Palate: Soft creamy and fruit-malt arrival. The development is equally soft and brings out honey and some oak. Vanilla, butterscotch and apple danish (but made with sour green apples). There's a slight salty tinge that is very well balanced with a herbal element and even a tiny whiff of smoke way in the background. Finish: Medium/short. Fruity, trailing out into a pleasantly mild dry and tannic finale like cold black tea, but balanced by faint wisps of honey and oak. Overall, this is a very well balanced and appealing whisky. It's not a hefty bruiser but it has character and is not lightweight. There's a slight maritime quality to it that is very agreeable. You certainly don't mistake it for a blend, but it is very easy drinking and approachable. Highly recommended and good value for money, this is a great example of an affordable daily dram single malt. It is surprisingly overlooked. Now pardon me while I pour another dram. "Good" : 84/100 (3.75 stars)

Such an excellent sipping scotch. Smooth, creamy, juicy, sweet and crisp! Just over a 4.0 for me. This is probably one of the best scotches available in it's current price range - at least in Ontario.

Nice, easy, little harsh

Yum yum, great for sipping, fruity and soft.

Decent enough dram. There's some orchard on the nose, with cream and whiffs of chardonnay wine. The palate has notes of ginger and pepper with a long and bitter finish.
