Production of Deanston’s Virgin Oak Highland Single Malt

The production of Deanston’s Virgin Oak Highland Single Malt begins with carefully selected types of malt, processed in the distillery’s own maltings. This whisky is created using pure Scottish water and a special yeast used for fermentation. In the first stage, the mash made from malted barley is mixed with hot water. This ensures the conversion of the starchy components into sugar.

After fermentation, distillation takes place in traditional copper pot stills. This process is carried out twice in order to extract the full aroma and ensure the purity of the malt. The whisky then matures in specially selected virgin oak casks. These casks made from fresh oak wood lend the whisky its characteristic aromas and golden color, while at the same time adding the necessary nuances and complexity. During maturation, the Virgin Oak Highland Single Malt continues to develop and reaches its consummate form after several years.
