Deanston Virgin Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky - Deanston

About the product

The Adelphi Cotton Mill was founded in 1785 and in its heyday, the spinning mill employed almost 1500 people. With success came expansion and its own currency. In 1830, one of the largest water wheels in Europe was installed before it was replaced by electric turbines in 1949 — the same turbines that Deanston can still rely on today. When the town's cotton mill Deanston closed for good in 1965, it seemed that the days of trading in the community were over. Then came Brodie Hepburn and his entrepreneurial partners. They recognized potential where others only saw challenges. And so the Deanston Distillery opened its business in 1966. The first bottle of Deanston was produced eight years later, in 1974.
