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.
