Deanston Mill / Bot. 1970's

Deanston is housed in a former cotton mill in the central Highlands that dates back to the late eighteenth century.  The buildings were converted in to a distillery in 1966.  It was acquired by Invergordon in 1972, but ceased production in 1982 and was mothballed until 1990, when it was bought and re-opened by Burn Stewart Distillers. About 15% of the whisky produced at Deanston is reserved or bottling as a single malt, with the remainder being reserved for blends.
