This
distillery is in the
Highlands, but only by a few miles – it is at Doune, southwest of
Perth. The town,
known in the 17th century for the manufacture of pistols, later
had a cotton mill, designed in 1785 by Richard Arkwright and extended in
1836. The mill was driven by the waters of the River Teith. The supply
of good water apparently contributed to the decision to turn the building
into a distillery at a time when the whisky industry was doing very well.
It opened as the Deanston distillery in 1965-66, with the vaulted weaving
shed serving as a warehouse. The distillery prospered during the 1970s,
but closed during the difficult mid 1980s. At the time it was owned by
Invergordon. With the growth of interest in single malts in the late
1980s and early 1990s, Deanston was bought by the blenders Burn Stewart,
and more versions of this pleasant whisky became available.
HOUSE STYLE
Light, slightly oily, nutty, accented toward a notably clean, malty
sweetness. Restorative.
