Deanston 17 Year Old / Bot.1990s 70cl / 40% Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery Bottling Matured for over 17 years the nose is richly fragrant with a hint of sherry. Smooth yet full-bodied with cereal, nut and gently honeyed characters.Deanston is one of Scotland's exciting yet little-known distilleries. It was established in the mid-1960s whisky boom in a 17th century former cotton mill near the Perthshire town of Doune. It is characterized by its self-sufficiency. Not only does the distillery get all its water from a dam on the River Teith, but the dam also drives a turbine that supplies it with electricity. In fact, the power supply is so great that several kilowatts can be sold to the nearby community.Deanston is one of three distilleries owned by Burn Stewart Distillers Ltd. Around 75% of Deanston's production has previously been sold to the US, meaning the whisky was quite overlooked in European markets, but the launch of the new 12-year-old will certainly change this situation in the near future. Ian Mac- Millan, Master Distiller at Burn Stewart said: "We want to emphasize the simplicity of the whisky process at Deanston, so we don't add caramel or use over-complicated techniques. We believe the result is a whisky in its most natural form and we are very proud of that. In our new 46.3% version, we put the whisky in brand new casks for a few weeks before bottling, as this gives us some extra sweetness. We already have a sweeter whisky with more oak due to the lack of chill filtration."Deanston is owned by Burn Stewart Distillers Limited. In 1995 Burn Stewart commissioned a gin distillery on the Deanston site making it capable of producing the highest quality distilled London dry gin. Burn Stewart Distillers Limited is a fully integrated Scotch whisky producer and brand owner a total of three whisky distilleries and a strong portfolio of Scotch whisky brands. With its head office and bottling hall based in East Kilbride near Glasgow
