Deanston is housed in a former cotton mill and sits on the banks of the River Teith near the Highland town of Doune. The mill, which was founded in 1785, was converted into a distillery in the mid-1960s and production began in 1966. Deanston was designed to be self-sufficient, using hydroelectric power from the river. After various changes of ownership and a period of closure in the 1980s, it was acquired by Burn Stewart in 1990. The current owners are CVH Spirits. Deanston has developed a reputation for a characterful and fruity Highland style and a strong emphasis on traditional production. It is one of the fastest growing Scotch single malts brands for sales.
