Deanston Description
True to our roots, at Deanston we still value handcrafted techniques. What makes our distillery special goes far beyond its bricks and mortar. For us, it’s about our people and the traditional methods they use to craft a range of single malts which command respect and pay tribute to our rich heritage.
The process begins with water from the River Teith, which flows over granite, making it very soft and perfect for making whisky. With help from the original lade used by the mill, the water is directed towards the distillery for use in production and powering the turbines.
We only ever use Scottish grown crops, meaning all of our malted barley is sourced from local farmers, before being milled into grist and tested by hand, to ensure the perfect mix of quick and slow natural sugars.
Our whisky is twice distilled - first, in a wash still and then in a spirit still where it separates into three sections: the head, the tail and the 'heart of the run'. The 'heart' is the part that interests us; this is our 'middle' or 'spirit' cut. The heads and tails will be used in the next distillation.
Indulge your traditional side with this seductive single malt. Matured for 12 years in ex-bourbon barrels, its delicate taste of sweet, honeyed fruit and gentle warmth will bewitch you. Not even a hint of smoke. Smooth, easy and an absolute delight.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE: Fresh hays of summer, malty cereal, rich creamy toffee and honeyed heather, balanced with sweet oak and barley sugar.
PALATE: Smooth creamy sweetness with sumptuous hints of fruit, malty honeyed spiciness and soft vanilla.
FINISH: Crisp and satisfying with a tingle of cloves which linger, then gently fade.
