Deanston Distillery

Deanston Distillery is located on the banks of the River Teith in the Scottish Highlands, near the village of Doune. The distillery was established in 1966 in a former 18th-century cotton mill, which adds to the unique historical charm of the location.

A specific feature of Deanston is the use of local spring water from the River Teith, which contributes to the purity and freshness of their whisky. The distillery uses traditional copper pot stills and long fermentation, resulting in a rich and full-bodied flavour. Deanston whiskies are known for their honeyed and malty character, with notes of vanilla, toffee, and a subtle spiciness.

Deanston matures its whisky mainly in ex-bourbon casks, which ensures a balanced and refined flavour. The distillery places a strong emphasis on sustainability and uses hydro-electric power to meet its energy needs. This combination of historic tradition, eco-friendly practices and high-quality whisky makes Deanston a respected name in the world of Scotch single malt whisky.
