About GreatDrams Deanston
Deanston is one of the greenest distilleries in Scotland. Expect notes of smooth, silky vanilla intertwined with subtle fruits, spicy honey and a creamy mouthfeel too from this excellent release by GreatDrams.
The Deanston Distillery is located on the site of an old cotton mill in the Highlands of Scotland. It operated from 1785 until 1966 as the demise of the cotton trade heralded the site being converted into a distillery and production of single malt whisky starts. The design of the still room means that the four unique pot stills and their upwards-sloping lyne arms and boiling balls help give the whisky its light character.
Deanston is one of the greenest distilleries in Scotland. Its power is generated by a turbine house which processes up to 20 million litres of water an hour. Any excess electricity is sold to the National Grid, making it the only self-sustaining distillery in Scotland for electricity.
Producing 3 million litres of spirit a year, and maturing 35,000 casks on-site in dunnage and racking warehousing, Deanston uses only Scottish-grown barley. In 2000 it was one of the first distilleries in Scotland to start producing organic whisky.

What about taxes?
All alcoholic products sold by TopWhiskies are sold subject to UK alcohol tax, which is already included in the price.
UK sales are subject to VAT (currently 20%), which is included in the price. Sales outside of the UK are not subject to this tax, and international prices do not include it.
We use a specialist US shipper who sorts out US taxes. These costs are factored into the US shipping charges. So shipping may look pricey, but remember it covers your taxes as well.
For all other territories, including those in Europe, please note: your order could be subject to local sales taxes and duties upon arrival in the destination country. All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, TopWhiskies has no control over these charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. If you refuse to pay any import duties and taxes, this could result in the goods being destroyed by customs or being returned back to us - any refund offered would include a deduction of our costs.
