About This Whisky

Deanston 26 Year Old 1996 (cask 1521) is a standout Highland single malt—elegant yet expressive, with a perfectly balanced interplay of fruit, caramel, citrus zest and spice. Distilled in 1996, bottled in 2023, matured in bourbon hogsheads, privately filled and held in a Perthshire warehouse since distillation. Bottled at a natural cask strength of 49.7% ABV, non‑chill filtered to preserve its natural colouring. There is approximately 249 bottles available worldwide, making this expression rare and collectible.

About Deanston Distillery

Established in 1966 in a former cotton mill, Deanston is known for producing handcrafted single malt Scotch whisky with a focus on traditional methods and natural ingredients.

Deanston stands out for its commitment to authenticity, using locally sourced Scottish barley, soft river water, and no chill-filtration or added colouring. The distillery is also self-sufficient in energy, powered by its own hydroelectric system, reinforcing its reputation as a sustainable whisky producer.
