ABOUT DEANSTON

One of Scotland’s younger distilleries, having opened its doors in 1966, Deanston inhabits a former cotton mill in the town of Doune (near Stirling) in the Highland region of Scotland. The River Teith, which runs alongside the distillery, provides both a perfect water source for the whisky and creates hydroelectric energy to run the distillery. Deanston is hand crafted using only Scottish barley and is aged in the former weaving shed of the cotton mill which provides consistent year-round humidity ideal for ageing Scotch. Deanston’s core line-up includes Virgin Oak, an innovative malt finished in previously unused American Oak barrels, along with their flagship 12 YO. The distillery is known for having a structured and complex taste profile with sweet honeyed notes.
