Deanston
Deanston distillery was founded by Brodie Hepburn in 1965 when he jumped at the opportunity to turn a once thriving cotton mill that closed down, into a distillery. Their location in Doune, Scotland means they get to use the soft, granite ‘infused’ water from the river Teith and only locally grown barley. Once the barley is milled in grist, wort is then created in an open-topped mash tun and drained through a perforated copper floor for fermentation. The liquid is then fermented for no less than 100 hours, this is where the unique flavour of Deanston happens. It’s then distilled twice before reaching maturity in oak casks.
