Comments: 

Very old, official Deanston, technically not whisky nowadays. These lower proof bottlings have a bit of a milksop mouthfeel, but make up for it in flavour. There's old bottle effect, of course, but it's somewhat hidden under a creamy fruitiness, almost chocolatey in intensity. Very nice indeed.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
