our tasting notes
Nose
Starts like a sweet delicate vanilla that then quickly turns into a tart bouquet of orange and apple, similar to an Australia Sauv Blanc. Pretty unique. That eventually tones down to a warm hug combination of creamy toffee, pear and plum.
Taste
Very similarly to the nose, the first sip starts off like a very delicate vanilla with a tease of sweet tropical fruit and flowers.That gradually learns to more of a hazelnut-like vanilla/ginger bomb, gradually building in spiciness with whispers pepper and peat.
Finish
Long and oily. Honey and pepper remain on the palate in a warming finish, perfect for the evening.
about
Made up of an "International Blend" of Canadian, Scottish and American Whiskies, with a base of Japanese Chichibu. This is an international collaboration that clearly worked for the best.
Ichiro Akuto is arguably the king of independent Japanese distillers, despite working out of an exceptionally modest premise with just two small pot stills in Chichibu, a town 100 km northwest of Tokyo. Despite this, Akuto’s single malts have consistently won rave reviews and achieved significant milestones.

I have had some cracking samples from my whiskyloot subscription but I doubt I have been as excited about what is coming until this was announced - the Deanston 15 Organic a 🏴 Highlands (near Stirling) single malt with a genuine 'organic' statement;
AGE: 📍15
ABV: 📍46.3% (the sample label is wrong)
NCF: 📍yes indeed
NAC:📍yes indeed
V4M:📍well priced if found
Full disclosure. I love Deanston. Official. Independent. It doesn't matter, these days they nail everything. I have never tried this, or even seen one before in the wild.
Nose: so highland, honey'd with heather and slight vanilla'd summer fruits. A clean cereal note and a touch of decent Australian/NZ Sauvignon Blanc
Palate: oily but still that Highland creaminess, so crisp again with green apple and nashi pear and oozing honey, such that you can almost feel it slowly dripping down you teeth.
Finish: crisp again. Woody with lovely oak notes, gentle spice white peper heat and honey'd sweetness to balance that out. Long. I am sold. Sign me up.
That is a solid 9.25⭐'s out of 10 for me and has me now hunting one down to see how a full 70cls opens over the journey.
Recently received a 3 month subscription to Whisky Loot from my girlfriend. Not only was it an awesome suprise but i get another each month for the next two months. It's the gift that keeps on giving!
The Whisky itself was great, i enjoyed all 3 samples and it's enough to make your Friday night a really good one without any of the hassle in the morning.
The option to buy the full sized bottles at a discount rate is great and I'll be placing an order today for the Balvenie Triple Cask.
This is a great gift for any whisky drinker even if they're not a serious collector.
Chivas Royal Salute 21 Year Old Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Fantastic gift idea, something different. Also love the packaging, notes and prompt delivery each month of interesting whiskeys. Also like the option to take a break and opt out when you need.
Brilliant service, excellent quality whiskys. Cant recommend this service more highly to anyone looking to get a unique and diverse experience of top shelf whiskys.
