About Deanston Distillery
Deanston distillery is situated on the banks of the River Teith, near Stirling. Originally a cotton mill designed by Sir Richard Arkwright in 1785, it transitioned into a distillery in 1966. Notably, Deanston is the sole distillery in Scotland generating its own electricity through hydro-energy. It prides itself on handmade whisky crafted by local artisans, employing traditional methods without the use of technology. Deanston utilises Scottish barley, and since 2000, has produced organic whisky. The distillery’s unique production features include an 11-ton open-topped mash tun and four distinctive pot stills with upwards sloping lyne arms and boiling balls, contributing to its light character.
The spirit matures in the original weaving shed from the 1830s, boasting a capacity of 24,000 casks, making Deanston a distinctive and authentic expression of Highland single malt Scotch whisky.

Deanston Whisky Cask Ownership - The Facts
Deanston is a renowned distillery located in Scotland with a rich heritage in producing fine whiskies. The rarity and quality of their products makes them desirable to collectors and enthusiasts, only increasing their value over time.
Whisky typically gains value as it ages and matures in the cask. The longer it remains in the cask, the more it has the potential to develop complexity and depth of flavors. We offer cask purchase programs that allow you to select the type of cask and aging duration, providing you with control over the maturation process.
Buying a cask allows you to own a unique piece of Bladnoch’s Kirkcowan Spirit production and a part of Bladnoch’s history. As the availability of aged and limited-edition whiskies decreases over time, the scarcity of these bottles can drive up their value.
Whisky has experienced growing popularity worldwide, particularly with the rise of collectors and investors seeking alternative assets. If the demand for premium Scotch whisky remains strong or continues to increase, it could positively impact the investment potential of your Kirkcowan Spirit (Bladnoch) cask. Recently we have seen the price of a standard bottle of Bladnoch rise from £40 to £80.
