The Deveron
12 Year Old Review
 The
Deveron 12 year old is the entry level
bottling here in the UK for the new The
Deveron Highland single malt whisky
range from the Macduff Distillery.
You may not recognise The Deveron name
that is because owners John Dewar & Co
have rebranded from Glen Deveron and
launched a new range of expressions
under The Deveron name. This is the
first time in the distillery's history
that there has been a range of
expressions available from the the
Macduff distillery.
Matured in a combination of Spanish
sherry and American ex-bourbon oak
casks, mainly hogsheads, it has been
bottled at 40% ABV.
Similar to the other bottling in the new
range, The Deveron 12 year old packaging
has a subtle northern Scotland maritime
coastal community look and feel to it.
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose: Light, fresh, barley sugar
sweetness, honeyed, malty. A wee touch of sherry
and a hint of a coastal breeze.
Taste: A very smooth delivery, baked apple
pie, pear, honey, slightest touch of dried
sherried fruits and just a wee touch of
pepper and a little oaky vanilla spice.
Finish: Some apple which is short
lived, leaves a bit of mildly drying
oak spice after a few mouthfuls.
Comment:
No surprises, just as I would have
expected given its production and
maturation. I am guessing it was a small
amount of refill sherry casks used in
the mix. A very mellow light to
medium bodied easy to drink dram, with a
enjoyable apple note and just the
slightest touch of sherry influence. I
would love to try this at a higher ABV
but I could could say that about most
whiskies.
