- Description
- Old Bannockburn was Deanston's original name before the 1970s ownership change, making this 1980s-bottled expression a historical marker. Bourbon maturation and the spirit's age define a straightforward Highland profile—functional rather than refined by modern standards. The classic rectangular bottle appeals primarily to collectors and those seeking Deanston's history.
