Deanston Mill Of. Virgin Oak Un-chillfiltered

The wine

A single malt from the Deanston distillery in the Highlands. Aged entirely in bourbon casks produced in an artisanal cooperage in Kentucky and finished in virgin oak. This version is also bottled without chill-filtration to ensure it maintains its oily texture.

About the Producer Deanston Mill

Deanston was originally a mill built in 1785 by Richard Arkwright on the border of the Lowlands and Highlands on the banks of the River Teith. After it was bought in 1964 by blender Brodie Hepburn, who also owned Tullibardine and Macduff, the site was converted into a distillery, with production beginning in 1969. Having been bought by Invergordon in 1972, Deanston closed a decade later, in the height of the Whisky Loch. It was bought by Burn Stewart in 1990 and reopened the following year. Although official bottlings of Deanston from the 1970s exist, the brand only really came into its own in the 2000s.
