Deanston
The distillery, originally a cotton mill designed in 1785 by Richard Arkwright, is located in the small village of Deanston near Doune, southwest of Perth. The supply of good water from the River Teith contributed to the decision to turn the mill into a distillery. 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.
