The Deanston 12 YO single malt is the foundation of the entire product line. It is aged exclusively in ex-Bourbon casks and is a multi-silver and gold award winner.
Even though we have argued that Deanston is indeed "legally " located in the Highlands, we think is tastes more like a light Lowlander. the aroma is a bit grassy, like freshly mown hay and it smells like it would be rather sweet. On the palate you get some fruits, but there is more nuttiness and a hint of salt - think chewy granola bar - with wood. The finish is short and soft.
