Deanston 12 Years OldHighland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Deanston distillery is situated in Stirling, close to the picturesque and historic village of Doune, with its ancient Royal castle. The distillery's buildings date back to 1785 and were converted into a full working distillery in 1966. Deanston produced a Scotch malt whisky regarded by connoisseurs as the perfect Highland single malt. A fine mellow malt with a fragrant, fruity flavour and lingering sweet aftertaste.
