Deanston Distillery is a Highland whisky distillery near Doune, Scotland, housed in a former 18th-century cotton mill. It became a distillery in 1966 and is known for producing unpeated, natural-style single malts—no chill filtration, no added color, and powered by hydroelectric energy from the River Teith.
Its whiskies are typically smooth, malty, and slightly waxy
