Notes - Deanston Distillery, near Doune, Perthshire, rests on the banks of the River Teith. This historic building, which dates back to 1785 was originally a cotton mill. The mill was converted to a full working distillery in 1966, making use of the crystal clear waters of the River Teith for the distillation of its single malt whisky and of the listed cellar buildings which provide the perfect storage conditions for maturing the whisky. Water powered turbines are the energy source, with two pairs of large bulbous pot stills capable of distilling three million litres of alcohol a year. The enclosed riverside warehouses give excellent conditions of constant humidity and temperature for ageing malt whisky.Deanston was purchased by Burn Stewart Distillers in 1990.
