Deanston 18-year-old / Tuba / 46.3% / 0.7l

Deanston is a medium-sized distillery capable of producing 3 million litres of alcohol per year.

It began operating in 1966 in the buildings of a former cotton mill. The company claims that the meter-thick walls of the maturing warehouse create excellent conditions for maturing whisky regardless of the season. Deanston is the core of the Scottish Leader blend, which sells over 6 million bottles annually, and in recent years we have also received a number of interesting editions of the local single malt. Deanston 18 years old joined the basic offer in 2015. The whisky was matured exclusively in first-fill bourbon barrels and bottled at 46.3% abv, natural, without cold filtration.
