Our home is far from the quaint Highland distilleries that may come to mind when you think about whisky in Scotland.​ Formerly a bustling cotton mill that in its heyday employed 1500 people, the building and community of Deanston were facing uncertainty when it closed for good in 1965... Enter our founder; Brodie Hepburn.​ Our founder, Brodie Hepburn, ​is far from your average founder. ​ A true pioneer, he saw huge potential in the battered old cotton mill, where others only saw challenges. He saw potential ​in the River Teith, with water ​ soft enough for whisky, and the strength to power a community. He saw the people of Deanston town, with the passion and honest work ethic to become true whisky makers. Hepburn’s took a risk and it paid off. The old cotton mill was transformed into a place perfect for whisky making.​ On the nose, Deanston Kentucky Cask Single Malt Whisky offers notes of honeyed barley, almonds coupled with a soft fruitiness and a touch of creme brulee. The palate offers a quick chew of butter toffee, then a slug of American cream soda; balanced with sweet oak and a light cinnamon spice. The finish offers palate-pleasing toasted oak spice and sweet barley.
