Deanston Virgin Oak

Our story begins with the opening of a cotton mill, known at the time as Adelphi. Chosen for its location on the banks of the River Teith, the mill would provide the perfect setting for an innovative new community of craftsmen.

When the cotton industry declined, the workforce at Deanston Mill gradually decreased before it closed its doors. Rather than signalling the end of an era, this heralded a new beginning, and a new craft, for the local community. (1965)

In the years following the mill’s conversion to a distillery, the community would learn a new craft and channel its commitment to hard work and innovation into producing the very first bottle of Deanston Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

Deanston Distillery proudly opened its doors to its brand new Visitor Centre. From tours and tastings, to exclusive limited editions, this new tourist attraction has allowed the distillery to share its fascinating story with the world.(2012)

Every drop of our Highland Single Malt is a marriage of the finest local ingredients and the skill of the craft to create the wonderful, fresh, honeyed sweetness that Deanston is known for. Our commitment to using a traditional, hand crafted approach to our whisky embodies the honesty of our community. Our adherence to traditional methods combined with the skills and experience of our distillery team makes Deanston the unique single malt it is today.
