He shoots! He scores! Well done, chaps. A little research suggests it was made using "new American oak", which sounds more like virgin than ex-bourbon.
I agree, Phil. First few drams were quite blurred and soft but later it became better and better, gaining clarity and gentle expressiveness. What was primarily clover honey later gained a lovely complexing bitterness and dried herbs, subtle dustiness, chlorine, a sprinkling of salt, chalky water, and mineral. A lot more subdued than typical Deanston, but all the better for those who appreciate such. No cologne note.
@ great notes. Yes the 12 may seem more full of character on the surface but the subtle details make the difference. There are still three bottles at my local total wine 😊
Well done guys! 😊
The tankard! Ok, *now* it feels like the advent season.

I was laughing thinking somehow he got the Deanston, but didn't notice the organic box which should have confirmed the guess. Well done though.
I do like that bottle
