Product description
Deanston, established in 1966, is one of Scotland's youngest distilleries.
It is based in the town of Deanston in the southern Highlands in buildings where a cotton mill began operating in 1785. Since 1990, the mill has belonged to Burn Stewart, whose assets were acquired in 2013 by Distell Group from South Africa. Deanston is the core of the Scottish Leader blend, which sells over 6 million bottles annually, and in recent years the popularity of the local single malt has also been growing. Deanston Organic debuted in March 2016. This 15-year-old whisky certified by the Organic Food Federation is bottled at 46.3% abv and is unchill-filtered.
