Отзывы на Deanston 1997 DeDr (WB 89.13, 75 оценок) в основном положительные: часто отмечают восковой, маслянистый и мёдовый профиль, хотя есть и критические замечания о специи и дубовой горечи в финише.
развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах неоднократно повторяются восковые и маслянистые ноты: один из отзывов описывает «waxy elements» и сравнение с Clynelish, ещё один отзыв называет стиль «old school with a waxy style», другой отзыв — «Waxy, malty, oily and a few lemons», один из отзывов — «lovely waxiness, oily», ещё один отзыв — «Really waxy on the nose with lots of honey and vanilla», другой отзыв — «Beeswax, honey, lemon, oranges», один из отзывов — «waxy sea salt». Мёд и фрукты также упоминаются часто: (honey, ripe orchard fruits, orange, vanilla), (pepper, citrus, almonds, orange, vanilla, toffee, oak), (honey, cheesecake, yellow apples, bananas, peaches). Несколько отзывов прямо связывают профиль с Clynelish. При этом ещё один отзыв отмечает «not very complex profile», а другой отзыв — разочарование из-за схожести с другим Deanston 27.
Критические замечания касаются в основном специй и дуба: один из отзывов — «Too spicy and not the soft deanston i remember», ещё один отзыв — «gets quite oaky in the finish… dry tail», другой отзыв — «striking bitterness… closer to the herbal, savory character of Cynar». Часть отзывов — лишь краткие пометки о дегустации без вкусовых деталей. Оценки в текстах варьируются от 86 до 91, что согласуется с общим рейтингом WB 89.13, но единого «экспертного консенсуса» тексты не формируют — это отдельные впечатления разных пользователей.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
thijs100Connoisseur9024 sep 2025 2:12 pm
It's very much old school with a waxy style not seen often outside of Clynelish.
bakermanConnoisseur9103 feb 2026 7:05 pm
Waxy, malty, oily and a few lemons. A very enjoyable whisky with a terrific palate. Deanston as it‘s best!

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!

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.

Could not become friends with this one. Too spicy and not the soft deanston i remember. Most people in the room disagreed with me.

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.

Big oaky mature high quality Deanston spirit that one comes to expect from this chewy and honey forward A grade distillery
ychanyExpert Junior8927 jul 2026 2:44 pm
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.
