Whisk(e)y Wednesday - 2025-02-26

Hello! 

I'm going to try to get back to these Wisk(e)y Wednesday reviews, mostly revisiting things I've tried before, seeing if my thoughts have changed. Sometimes these will be blind, sometimes I'll know what I'm drinking.

So today ... I'm drinking Deanston Highland Scotch Single Malt Whisky, 12 Year, 46.3% ABV, Un-chill filtered and aged in ex-bourbon casks.

On the nose I get butterscotch, floral, candy vanilla, orange sherbet. The taste is orange marmalade and orange cream sickle. The finish is butterscotch, molasses, an orange note - but not overly citrus, like maybe an orange cordial. 

With water the nose is very similar, maybe a bit more sweet butterscotch. There is some honeysuckle on the taste, and a bit more bite with some green pepper on the finish. Overall, this is a good, solid highland scotch - good entry level Scotch Whisky. Rating this a 3.5/5.0, which is the same as I reviewed previously.
