The 12 is definitely dominated by the spirit rather than the cask. Imo it benefits from a teaspoon of water and a good 10 minutes in the glass, the 15 is finished in different bourbon barrels to the 12 and I think the balance is just right, had the 18 year old as well and while it's very well made, all the vanilla and toffee flavours were turned up to 11, too sweet for my tastes.

Oh man, me and Mrs EB tried the Deanston 12 recently on a trip to Callander. Not to either of our tastes at all, I honestly thought I'd been served a White Horse or a Bells :/
