Distillery Focus: Deanston at Hard To Find Whisky – Scotch Whisky News
Located in the Scottish Highlands, Deanston distillery consistently produces excellent and affordable single malts that are occasionally overlooked. Founded in 1964, the site is a former cotton mill built in the late 1700’s. Ahead of the game in terms of sustainability, Deanston distillery is one of the greenest in the industry, and is entirely powered by water turbines. Deanston spirit is unpeated, sweet, and waxy. The core range is predominantly matured in ex-Bourbon casks, resulting in a sweet, creamy single malt with flavours of vanilla and citrus fruits.
In 2013, Deanston was purchased by South African drinks giant Distell. Major investment in the distillery has led to improved quality, variety, and visibility for the brand. International acclaim and a host of awards have followed. Now a rising star, Deanston is one of the most improved distilleries of the past decade with an enviable portfolio of core range and limited release whiskies.
