Creamy and malty on the nose, with more of the same plus lemons in the mouth. Reminds me of a classic Bruichladdich - nothing too complicated, just tasty and satisfying. @SolanaRoots are you sure this is virgin oak? There’s none of the excessive oak spice that I associate with new barrels.

@SolanaRoots Thanks, a finish would make sense. I guess that’s a fair price.
Did a quick check on the Deanston website - the claim is casks are scraped and re-charred and then finished in organic virgin oak casks...worth a buy at $80 in your opinion?
