Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают хорошо выдержанный Deanston с восковым, медовым и фруктовым профилем, часто с ореховыми и цитрусовыми нотами. Мнения о финише расходятся: часть отмечает дубовую сухость и пряность, часть — мягкую сладость.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах виски чаще всего описывают как хорошо выдержанный Deanston с восковым характером, который неоднократно сравнивают с Clynelish. В аромате и вкусе отмечают мёд, ваниль, цитрусовые и жёлтые фрукты, марципан и миндаль, а также маслянистую текстуру; встречаются ноты свежих цветов, пыльного дуннажного склада, воска и минеральности. Несколько отзывов подчёркивают слоистость и постепенное раскрытие, а не «взрывной» вкус, а также хорошую питкость и сладость в виде мёда и выпечки.
При этом оценки и впечатления не полностью единодушны. Часть отзывов указывает на заметную горьковато-травянистую ноту, пряность и дубовую сухость в финише, из-за чего один из авторов сомневался в покупке по указанной цене; другой прямо пишет, что не смог «подружиться» с виски из-за чрезмерной пряности. Финиш описывают по-разному: от средне-длинного, тёплого, фруктового и ванильно-дубового до слегка минерального с танинами и возвращающейся восковостью.

The textbook definition of a bourbon-cask whisky. What stands out most is a striking bitterness—less like raw artichoke, and much closer to the herbal, savory character of Cynar.

Never had such a well matured Deanston, and it comes from a refill hoggie! So an ideal opportunity to see what time does to this spirit… And it resulted in a beautiful dram, which is no immediate flavour bomb but offers a layered goodness. As others pointed out before me it is a bit similar to Clynelish because of the waxy elements. In my experience however, a bit of waxiness is not entirely unique in well matured malts on more inactive casks.

| Нос | 88 | Starts a bit shy but slowly opens up: wild peaches, fresh flowers,that lovely dusty scent of a dunnage warehouse, sun flower oil and candle wax. Then a deeper sweetness follows with vanilla, honey and baked banana. |
| Вкус | 90 | Subtile yet complex with many layers to discover. Olive oil, pine honey, lemon curd, bergamot, white flowers, and ginger. The moutfeel is oily and a bit waxy. Keeps developing at a gentle pace. |
| Финиш | 89 | Green olives, greengages, citrus fruits, lemon balm and light spices. It is slightly mineral and also has some tannins, while the waxiness returns. A lovely combination! It keeps coming in waves, with a faint sweetness lingering. |

https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2025/11/10/whisky-show-2025-old-rare-part-1-2/ C: We’re back in the hive with an old but vibrant Deanston – fusty yet fresh. Brilliantly presented whisky, this. May the force ‘bee’ with you!

It's very much old school with a waxy style not seen often outside of Clynelish.
Really waxy on the nose with lots of honey and vanilla. Oh yeah, this one's got a lot going for it. Unfortunately, at 350, it's outside my budget. But despite everything a very successful dram

sipped from the balcony of a hotel in dublin at night time. the bottle was provided compliments of the hotel after they broke the bottle of the wu dram clan 17-year-old deanston that I had a hand in designing the label design for. a worthy replacement I suppose. whoever is selecting casks for decadent drams clearly knows a thing or two.
Nose: Slightly waxy, fresh apples, honey, slightly reminiscent of Clynelish, but with a distinct alcoholic note. Still nice. Palate: Wow, the palate begins gently with a lovely waxiness, oily and slightly grainy. It even becomes a bit mineral towards the end. Green apples again. Not a fruit bomb, but a sweet, waxy, and slightly spicy affair. Finish: Medium-long, again waxy, sweet, and somewhat fruity with light oak. A lovely dram!

Waxy, malty, oily and a few lemons. A very enjoyable whisky with a terrific palate. Deanston as it‘s best!

A wonderful whisky, balanced, creamy, delicate on the tongue and palate, fruity with plenty of sweetness in the form of honey, cheesecake, and cake. It's certainly drinkable.

90 on the tongue, but sadly gets quite oaky in the finish. A really good aged Deanston, but even if I've paid a comparable sum of money for similarly aged Ben Nevis with a similar score, I'd hesitate to pay the 350€ for this one because of that dry tail.
Nose: waxy sea salt, vanilla, pepper, yellow fruits, pineapple, peaches, tea like tannins Mouth: oily, peaches, mellow, seasalt, floral, oak spice, minerality Finish: mid oak spice, salty, stewed peaches,
Could not become friends with this one. Too spicy and not the soft deanston i remember. Most people in the room disagreed with me.
