Deanston 18 Year Old Whisky

The Deanston 18-Year-Old Bourbon Finish whisky owes much of its character to the unique setting of Deanston’s ageing warehouses. Once part of the historic Adelphi Cotton Mill, these warehouses feature thick stone walls and vaulted roofs, which provide an ideal, steady climate for whisky maturation, originally perfect for cotton weaving. This stable environment shields each cask from external temperature fluctuations, allowing Deanston’s single malts to mature at a slow and consistent pace.

The 18-Year-Old expression highlights how beautifully a single malt can develop in these conditions. Initially aged for 16 years in traditional oak whisky casks, this whisky was carefully chosen by Deanston’s Senior Blender, Dr Kirstie McCallum, for an additional two-year finish in newly acquired ex-Bourbon casks. The result is a smooth, aromatic dram that complements Deanston’s hallmark honeyed fruit profile, delivering a rich, refined whisky experience.
