The Deanston Distillery, located on the banks of the River Teith in the picturesque Scottish Highlands region, is renowned for its authentic and artisanally crafted Single Malt Scotch Whiskies. Originally built as a cotton mill in the 18th century, the facility was transformed into a whisky distillery in 1966. Today, Deanston is part of the esteemed Distell Group, known for its dedication to quality and traditional whisky production.

Deanston stands out for its use of pure, untouched spring water from the River Teith and the exclusive use of Scottish barley. The distillery prides itself on its sustainability practices, including the use of hydro power for energy, making Deanston one of the few environmentally friendly distilleries in Scotland.

Deanston whiskies are known for their natural character and authenticity. The distillery refrains from chill filtration and adds no colorant to its whiskies, resulting in a pure and unadulterated taste experience. Popular standard bottlings include Deanston 12 Years, which impresses with its smooth, honey-sweet profile and notes of fruit and malt, and Deanston Virgin Oak, which gains additional flavors from maturing in new oak casks.

Deanston Distillery is also known for its limited editions and experimental bottlings, which regularly attract the attention of whisky connoisseurs. Each bottle of Deanston is a testament to the passion and commitment of the distillery team to produce top-quality whiskies that reflect the rich history and craftsmanship of the region.
