Deanston?

[an donas]

Anyone visited this? Have been trying to contact them with a partner who organises whisky tours. No reply has been forthcoming. I am intruiged but won't beg!

[MacDeffe]

I have. Interesting tour as the distillery is very different than others, with everything being in the same building, an old industrial building. This includes a power turbine run by the river

I really like the new 10yo as well

It shouldn't be the first distillery to visit, but once you have seen a couple or 5 (or 70) this is a great place to go

e-mail, the devil’s post; well that’s what we consider it in the north of Scotland. It has taken us over a hundred years to get around to using that new telephonic system invented by Mr Bell.

[The Dazzler]

Their new Distillery Visitor Centre should be up and running in May or soon after.


Slainte!

[Willie JJ]

It is indeed an extraordinary distillery which is well worth a visit. Have you tried the aforementioned telephonic system?

[corbuso]

Have you tried to call the distillery directly?
I had not much problem contacting them last year, but they cancelled the visit the day before although

[Peat Sampras]

Try the Telegraph, if everything fails

[Willie JJ]

They advertise their opening times in The Telegraph?

[vitara7]

probably better with smoke signals, if you know the area, youll know what i mean

[an donas]

Have tried phoning direct. Email direct. And email to Burn Stewart customer services woman. No joy. Shame, as by all accounts it is an interesting distillery.

Next stops... smoke signals and pigeons.

i think you should apply for a job. and if all else fails, there's always the peat sampras approach.

[Willie JJ]

if all else fails, there's always the peat sampras approach.

No problem with that. The distillery is right beside the road.

[C57]

I assume you are not referring to the Pete "Try the Telegraph" approach but the Pete "Just wander around until someone catches you and throws you out" approach?

[Willie JJ]

Yeah that's the one Nick

[mongo]

yes. and i would suggest brazening it out if confronted and threatening to throw them out.

[Peat Sampras]

Don't forget to smoke while taking pictures of the stills after sneaking into the stillhouse - always cheers up stillmen/women.
