It has an interesting background, as Deanston distillery is a former cotton mill, which first opened its doors in 1785. For more than a decade-and-a-half Deanston prospered, until the cotton industry declined after the Second World War. That’s when the community rallied and converted their cotton mill into a whisky distillery. The Deanston, 18 Y is a prime example of what the distillery is capable of. A finish in first-fill Kentucky bourbon casks gives this whisky a luscious flavor profile.
