Deanston Single Malt Scotch 12 Yr

• Description: The Deanston 12 Year Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured exclusively in ex-bourbon casks for a minimum of 12 years. Bottled at 46.3% ABV and non-chill filtered with natural color, it represents the core expression of the Deanston distillery’s character. Deanston, a former cotton mill converted into a distillery in 1966, is known for its uniquely waxy and honeyed spirit, a result of its traditional production methods and the pure water from the River Teith.
