Deanston Organic 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Highlands, Scotland

An outstanding organic Highlander.

Deanston distillery started not as a distillery, but as a cotton mill, way back in 1785. Soon, the village of Deanston which is located in the Highland region of Scotland, began to form and a community was slowly built. In 1965 the cotton mill was closed, and looking for ideas, people at the company began making Whisky. Deanston uses no modern technology to produce their Single Malts and each bottle is hand-crafted. They’re uniquely the only distillery in Scotland self-sustaining for electricity, being equipped with a dam and a turbine, undoubtedly from the time of the cotton mill.

Deanston 15 Year Old Organic Highland Single Malt Deanston is crafted from organic barley that comes from local farmers. The Whisky was aged in rejuvenated ex-Bourbon casks and finished in virgin oak. The casks need to be rigorously cleaned, scraped, and re-charred so that the production process never comes into contact with non-organic materials. Bottled at 46.3%, this organic Highlander is fruitier, a tad oily, and grassy.
