Product description
Deanston Distillery, located in the town of Deanston in the Southern Highlands, is housed in buildings where a cotton mill began operations in 1785.
Since 1990, the plant has been owned by Burn Stewart, a company that has been part of the South African Distell Group since 2013. Deanston is one of the first Scottish distilleries to offer organic whisky (2016). It is distilled from organically grown barley, free from pesticides, malted in a special, organic malt house. The entire production process is certified by the Organic Food Federation. Here we present the last organic edition of Deanston from 2022.
