Deanston Virgin Oak

[@christophergiroux1489]

This was the December 1st entry in the Wisky advent calendar I just received. This video was a great companion to enjoying the wee dram. Cheers.

Deanston can do no wrong, they make great product even at their entry level offering

[@onYTsince2008]

True, but only if they did *not* add any colouring to them (Deanston V.O, (the new packaging) Ledaig 10, Tobermory 12 etc ALL have some E150A in them, the only thing preventing them to be integrity bottlings.

@@onYTsince2008 the integrity things is fun if you are predicting if you are going to like a bottle and want to purchase it. Coloring and chill filtering do not matter if you already like the product, then its just pretentious bantering. No one is saying Laprhoaig 10 isn't flavorful enough because its chill filtered for example.

@@onYTsince2008 from the official Deanson website: Bottled at 46.3% ABV - the sweet spot to demonstrate VO’s unique character...soft, honeyed with the creamy mouthfeel and waxy texture you only find in a bottle of Deanston. Non-chill filtered to lock in all that flavour and no added colour for a true representation of our liquid from cask to bottle.

[@bryanabrams5916]

Ledaig 10 and Tobermory 12 do not use e150a. Please reference the website. Integrity bottlings all the way!​@@onYTsince2008

This is the cheapest single malt available where I live and the quality makes it the best bang for the buck as well.

[@Koby616]

Well priced whiskey. Just had my 1st deanston virgin oak last week. Already planning to get replacement bottle

[@aguy1075]

Single malt aged like a bourbon. Excellent value. Cheap enough that it can be mixed without hesitation, but also very good as a neat pour. Thank you for the review.

[@groberti]

For a neat pour it is tasty. For a mix why would you spend this much money? Just buy a blended scotch for half the price

[@drax14QC]

Actually it’s aged exactly like a Bourbon. Its aged in ex-Bourbon casks and then finished in Virgin Oak. Still very interesting product at a good price.

Unpeated vanilla honey scotch with a strong oaky bourbon like note. had this bottle accidentally and absolutely love it!!

[@sharvelino]

Would love to see you make a video of your top 5 single malts!

[@VazzVegas]

I believe he has a bunch of them. Just search them out on the channel.

[@JAF2991]

Drinking this right now, excellent whisky.

[@micway71]

I’m looking for a more affordable scotch, as I have been purchasing a lot of the higher shelf bottles of 12-14 year old single malts. This has my attention and will be trying very soon. Love watching your reviews and trust them.

[@jonathangrauer3050]

It’s really nice and very afforable

[@gregoryciesla542]

I absolutely love the 12 year but I’m always hesitant to try nas bottlings. However it is a Deanston so I’ll be picking this one up soon. Another fine review Horst

[@henrykDzieciontko]

For the cheaper price tag I prefer this to the 12 . I just got a bottle of virgin oak for £27 from a Glasgow supermarket.

He used to be the Master Taster - what happened?? But this is a fine dram btw

[@MarcelB74]

He's a humble man, he doesn't want to place Ben under him.. i think

[@VazzVegas]

Ben is now the Master Taster. Congrats to him.

[@onYTsince2008]

@@MarcelB74 Your response is absolutely correct lol. "Senior vs Junior"....

@@VazzVegas He's not a master taster, he's a "Junior" taster, Horst is older, thus "senior".
