Description

Deanston started life as a cotton mill in 1785 but by the 1960s the mill closed and - formed by the ideas of whisky broker, Brodie Hepburn - it began producing single malt whisky in 1967. Today it is owned by South African drinks company Distell and the majority of the whisky is used in popular blend Scottish Leader. This 12 Year Old expression is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, bottled at 46.3% ABV, non-chill filtered, and matured primarily in ex-bourbon casks. It is known for its smooth, honeyed, and waxy character.
