barley and breakfast orange spread on nose, while in mouth its dry oak, and a touch salty moving into the usual vavilla and caramel with more oak.
nicely balanced i think overall although the saltiness maybe lingers a little; maybe due to age. the 18 is more rounded and less salty. great value tho
probably have to soon the way prices are going..
Some of the whisky prices have gone through the roof, apart from the supermarket bottles where you can sometimes find something. I have a top price which I wont go over which means a lot of brands are now out of reach
another product from the usually excellent Deanston range ; Deanston Virgin Oak is made with young whisky which has been finished in brand new oak casks from Kentucky.

creamy toffee in this ; vanilla too and lots of oaky spices, especially in the finish which is long but controlled. rather good for a nas. a little O2 tames the finish a bit if you prefer without affecting the dram much. a winner for £35
Some poured in my Scotia glass. Typical Deanston colouringhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...879d7defd3.jpg
Benriach, the twelve... top drawer dram this. master blender is dr rachel barrie.. ive had this a few times; its very nice

I finished my Yamazaki 12 today.
I almost choked when I saw how much they want for a bottle now. €175!
I can get two very good bottles for that. Especially as I did not find the Yamazaki to be anything special.
And tonight the last of my Douglas Laing - Old Malt Cask - 18 YO Glen Scotia.
A lovely whisky this.
Well, it has gone.
Another one that will go on the “will be missed” list.
It was absolutely lovely.
Full and malty with a big whack of gripping sherry notes, apple peels and baked pear with nectarine sultanas and burnt sugar.
You lot make me drool with your selection of whisky, compared to what’s available in Australia.

horst luning had a channel on the utube. he is pretty knowlegeable, and been att it for years. a bit tutonic at times but worth getting his opinions .. ive been drinking malt since i was 18. even worked in a few distilleries.
Whisky is a simple thing, but is often complicated by some. The blender has the hard job; we get the simple one:lol:
Yes, all we have to do is buy and taste it, quite good now we have a whisky shop locally, which also helps. At my age I should know a lot more about the stuff than I do, its very interesting trying, the higher ABV stuff, non chill filtered and no added colour, which are miles away to the stuff you can pick up in the supermarket although, there are a few decent ones in supermarkets.
M of M is where I used to get my whisky from as well.
Unfortunately, since Breakshit happened, it is too complicated for them to shim into Europe. Another shining example of helping U.K. small to medium size businesses.
glenallachie 8 yr old tonight.. a little cheaper and not so smooth as the 12 but maybe more sherry.
edit... deffo more sherry. a little bit firier with more oak spice

The wife came back from shopping yesterday with a bottle of Cotswold Gin.
Looking forward to trying it soon.
The whisky is not bad at all.
