It first opened its doors in 1785, not as a distillery, but as a cotton mill. As the mill flourished, the village began to take shape. Workers’ houses were built, local shops were opened and a community was born.

Changing times resulted in the closure of the mill in 1965 but was it possible that the perfect place to make cotton was also the perfect place to make whisky?

It most certainly was.

There is only one thing that compares to creating the perfect single malt and that is being able to share our passion. We would love for you to come and visit us, and experience the craft and devotion that goes into every drop of Deanston. You will arrive a visitor and leave a friend.
