Michael Jackson
70- Nose
- Dry. Light peat. Grass. Linseed, leather.
- Palate
- Lightly oily. Sweet. Lemon-zest. Lemongrass. Lightly malty.
- Finish
- Sherbet. Lemon-zest again. Grass. Appetising nutty dryness.
- Comment
- More of a Lowland style. If Deanston were regarded as a Lowland distillery, it would score higher.
Jim Murray
62- Nose
- Delicate intertwining of honey and butterscotch with a bite of dry oak. Redeemed, rather unusually, by a sprinkling of crushed rose petals.
- Palate
- A thin, insipid, start then a roar of spice, malt and oak in one mad rush.
- Finish
- Bitter at first then softening oak.
- Comment
- Oops. Nothing like the lovely dram at this age I normally come across. Pleasant enough, but too thin and lacklustre to be true.
