BRAND: The Bunnahabbain 12 year old from Islay is probably the most complete scotch there is. It has sophistication and depth and being bottled at 92.6 proof, it gives a touch more intensity.
BRAND: Deanston values traditions by being true to their heritage. Each bottled is crafted by hand using no modern technology. This gives you the authenic, creamy, sweet, honey blossom taste that is unmistakably theirs!

Nose: It shows beautiful sea salt, caramel and seaweed notes with just a hint of smoke.

A soft armchair and a snifter...or Creme Brulee.
