Deanston Scotch Whisky Distilling Equipment Open cast iron mash tun 8 stainless steel washbacks. 4 pot stills narrow necks with Boil balls, Lyne arms slope slightly upwards Matured in American oak bourbon casks Also some sherry butts. Just outside the town of Doune in Perthshire the Deanston Distillery is located on the banks of the River Teith, which rises in the nearby mountains of the Trossachs. This is the historic centre of Scotland, close to Stirling Castle, the Wallace Monument and Bannockburn. The buildings originally date back to 1785 and were designed by Richard Arkwright, the inventor of the spinning frame. The buildings originally operated as a cotton mill. The Vaulted warehouse was the weaving shed, During 1965-66 the cotton mill was converted, to a distillery by the Deanston Distillery Co Ltd, This included taking out four internal floors to accommodate the stills and other equipment. The distillery takes advantage of the same requirement for an abundant supply of water and for a controlled temperature and humidity in its storage cellar as used in the manufacture of cotton. In 1972 the distillery was purchased by Invergordon Distillers and prospered during the 1970s boom, producing a blend and a malt called "Old Bannockburn" The distillery closed during 1982 at the time of the great whisky lake. |
