Deanston 18 Year Old

What sets Deanston Distillery apart and makes it truly unique is its location within a former cotton mill, which plays a significant role in its history and character. The distillery's conversion from a 18th-century cotton mill to a whisky-producing site in the 1960s brought new life to the building while preserving its industrial heritage. The cotton mill's thick stone walls and vaulted ceilings provide the ideal environment for whisky maturation, ensuring a stable and consistent temperature throughout the year. Deanston's commitment to sustainability is evident in its use of hydroelectric power generated from the nearby River Teith, making it one of the few distilleries in Scotland to be almost entirely self-sufficient in energy production. Additionally, the distillery sources barley locally, supporting the agricultural community and emphasizing its connection to the surrounding Highland landscape. The result is a whisky that not only embodies the character of the Scottish Highlands but also carries the rich history and heritage of the cotton mill, making Deanston Distillery a cherished destination for whisky enthusiasts seeking a taste of tradition and craftsmanship.
