The Deacon Whisky

A blended malt named after Edinburgh's most notorious double life. Deacon William Brodie was a respected craftsman by day and a burglar by night - a story said to have inspired Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The Deacon deliberately plays on this duality: respectable on the surface, wilder underneath.

  • The Deacon Blended Scotch Whisky bottle craftsman tribute
    Item no.: 059763-615-477

    A tribute to the masters of any craft, where every drop is distilled with the same pride a craftsman pours into a life's work.

    Expert description

    The Deacon is a blended Scotch whisky with no age statement, bottled at 40% ABV by Sovereign Brands in partnership with Pernod Ricard.

    The name "Deacon" is a Scottish term for a skilled master craftsman, and the blend was created as a tribute to the finest practitioners of any trade, a concept also reflected in the bottle's bold, industrial design.

    The Deacon launched in February 2023 as a newer addition to the modern blended Scotch scene, combining traditional malt and grain whiskies from several Scottish regions into an accessible and versatile blend.
