- Description
- Deanston's 5-year-old from a 1980s distillery bottling carries the 'Mill' designation from an era before the distillery simplified its branding. This Highland whisky at 40% ABV reflects Deanston's lighter, grassy character during a period when the distillery was less recognized than today. A snapshot of Scottish distillery bottling practices and Highland house style from four decades past.
