The archive

The Deanston distillery buildings date back to 1785 when it was a working cotton mill driven by the waters of the River Teith. In 1966, the buildings were converted into a distillery with a plentiful supply of water from the river that flows from feeder streams high in the Trossachs, through granite and peat beds, and is considered one of the purest rivers in Scotland. This Highland region is known for producing a medium body and sweetness with malty notes. 

This rare single malt Highland whisky was distilled on the 7th of June 2000 and bottled the 10th of April 2019. Matured in Bourbon cask #1858 and finished in Pedro Ximenez octave #1858A for 3 months. For this second batch, 50 litres were taken from the Bourbon barrel to be finished in an intense Pedro Ximenez sherry octave for over 4 months.
