Amber color, medium thickness. With water, a pleasant aroma arises, exhibiting sweetness (vanilla, milk chocolate, toffee), savory notes (white pepper, baked eggplant?), fruitiness (abundant raisins!, plums), cereal, and damp oak. Upon tasting with water, a sweet, savory, and spicy initial sensation is felt (delightful!!), with a full, rich, oily body. Flavors include sweetness (milk chocolate, toffee), savory elements (white pepper, baked eggplant?), fruitiness (dried fruits, raisins, plums), brininess, rubber, and cereal notes (cooked vegetables), alongside oak. The finish is long and pleasant, with a sweet, savory, and cereal aftertaste that is incredibly enjoyable!!! Absolutely stunning! So much complexity still remains. Fellow distillers, if you can find this bottle, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Well done, Deanston!!!!!
