This single cask bottling of a 12-year-old Deanston was produced by independent bottler Michel Reick (Whisky Druid) in The Old Friends series. The whisky was distilled in 2009, matured in an ex-Pedro Ximenez hogshead and was bottled at cask strength in 2021.
Deanston is a distillery in Deanston, Stirling, Scotland, which was founded in 1965 by Deanston Distillery Co Ltd. A cotton mill built in 1785 was converted into the distillery. In 1971, the first single malt was launched under the name Old Bannockburn. The distillery was taken over by Invergordon Distillers in 1972 and since 1974 there have been bottlings under the name Deanston. Since 1990, the distillery has belonged to Burn Stewart Distillers from Glasgow.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
