Deanston Distillery

I visited the UK with my famiy during last Korean Chuseok holidays. We stayed in England mostly, but we also visited Scotland, too. As an whisky lover, it's a kind of duty and faith to visit at least one of distilleries in Scotland. So I brought my family to the Deanston distillery and we met my Netherlands friend and his family. We had the distillery tour together there. It's unforgettable memory for me. Thank you, Brian for your guidance on the tour day.:) 2025.10.13, Mon, 10:15am #Deanston #distillery_tour #Deanston_12y #Deanston_Virgin_Oak_Distillery_Edition

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Warehouse No. 4 Experience – Deanston Distillery What an absolutely fantastic experience! The Warehouse No. 4 tasting at Deanston was everything you could hope for — and more. Our host Brian was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also hilarious — the perfect mix of fun and whisky wisdom. He brought the whole experience to life with great stories, insights, and plenty of laughs along the way. We sampled three cask strength drams, each one exceptional in its own way — rich, powerful, and beautifully waxy, with that unmistakable Deanston character. Tasting them straight from the cask in the cool warehouse made it feel truly authentic and special. If you’re anywhere near Deanston, don’t miss this. Whether you’re a seasoned whisky lover or just curious to learn more, this experience is amazing and highly recommended. Thanks again to Brian for making it one to remember! 🥃

Brian gave us an amazing tour last minute, right before closing. He and the rest of the staff were extremely welcoming, friendly & great to chat with. Thank you for an amazing experience!

We did the 3 dram tour at £25 each. The tour lasted around an hour, followed by the tasting and them the shop. Our tour guide, Thomas, was fab. Happy to answer any questions he could, able to talk about the history of the building and the different qualities of the whiskey. After the tour in the shop the staff were more than happy for us to taste even more varieties before buying.

Amazing whiskies at this distillery. I highly recommend treating yourself to the Warehouse No. 4 Tasting Experience. It was a very small group and our guide, George, gave an excellent and informative tour. Then we sat in the warehouse to taste delicious whiskies straight from the barrel… truly a one of a kind experience and highly recommended for any Scotch whisky lover!

We stopped here as an extension of a day trip to Stirling. Although near closing time, we found the visitor’s center very busy and initially it seemed like staff were having a hard time keeping up with the crowd. Once it got a little less busy, we found the staff very engaging and we got to sample quite a number of their whiskies including distillery exclusives and hand pours. They also had some Tobermory and Bunnahabhain whiskies (same parent company). While this isn’t one of the “pretty” distilleries, we were happy to see the range of distillery exclusives available and ended up with 2 bottles!

Had a fantastic experience at Deanston Distillery! The tour was thorough and professionally conducted, offering great insight into the whisky making process. Our guide Brian was excellent; knowledgeable, engaging, and had a great sense of humor, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. The whisky tasting was an added plus, but the visit is not just for whisky enthusiasts. Travelers will also appreciate the beautiful surroundings and the rich history of the place. Overall, a great destination for anyone visiting the area!

A great distillery and a great day out. Our tour guide Thomas was fantastic and was able to answer all our questions. A very immersive tasting experience that came with all the lore around the age statements and special releases, the one thing I really liked was that there was no pressure to adhere to tasting notes on the bottles and people were free to express themselves with each sample. Many distilleries almost ruin the experience by telling you what the flavours are before you try them, personally I enjoy seeing what I can taste and then seeing how close I came to the distillers description. Came away with a few bottles and some samples, would absolutely come again.
