Deanston 18 Year Old Batch 1

A floral, honeyed nose. Some lavender, light fruit - peaches, a hint of citrus and more than a hint of herbs. Slight aniseed. Honey binds it all together.

Sweet honey on the palate is tempered by a large aniseed and liquorice hit. Quite herby and floral, but relatively thick and oily. Hints of biscuit and cereal.

A long sweet finish with the honeyed style staying to the end.

A lighter style whisky than I usually go for, but I like it for being "au naturelle" - ie uncoloured and non-chill filtered. Definitely recommended for the more sweet-toothed whisky drinker.
