[Deanston Distillery] |
Deanston Distillery looks nothing like a traditional distillery. But you shouldn't always judge a building by its exterior: the uncompromising architecture isn't ideal if this is the only distillery you'll ever visit, but otherwise Deanston makes an interesting change from the norm. And inside, things are pleasingly old-fashioned. The building started out as a cotton mill in 1785, powered by the fast-flowing River Teith alongside. As demand and corresponding production declined through the early 20th century the river was instrumental again, making it suitable for conversion into a distillery in 1966. The visitor centre opened in 2012; tours are good and start with a slick film about the site's heritage.
