Nosing: Apfel Vanille Eiche under-ripe Tropische Früchte (papaya)

Taste: Kräuter (sage) Grapefruit Vanille

Finish: Eiche Melone Pfirsich

Comment: There is a vein of savory notes that runs through Deanaton's 12-year old expression, and which elevates this whisky by deftly offsets a variety of sweet elements. Dusty wood notes and the sensation of under-ripe, pithy fruit add complexity on the nose, while herbal tones do the same work for the palate.

This whisky has no harshness and very little alcohol burn across the tongue and through its finish. There is a sturdy fruit sweetness that carries the finish from short-ish to medium-long, and without which one might be left disappointed that the scent/flavor buildup fell flat at crescendo.
