The distillery is eight miles (13 kilometers) northwest of Stirling, which is frequently serviced by trains and buses from Glasgow and Edinburgh, as well as other major towns and cities. Stirling railway station is adjacent to the bus station, from which the No.59/C59 bus to Callander stops directly in front of the distillery.
Deanston Distillery is open year-round, seven days a week, from mid-morning until early evening. Aim to arrive around 10 minutes before your tour or tasting begins to settle in and look around the visitor center. It’s worth allowing time for lunch or a snack at the distillery cafe.
Scotland is famed as a whisky nation, but Scotch isn’t the only tipple made there. Scotland is also home to dozens of gin distilleries, including Deanston’s sister distillery Tobermory on the Isle of Mull. If you can’t make it to Mull, you can sample Tobermory Distillery’s three gins with a guided tasting at Deanston, which takes you through the gins’ production process and provides insights into each gin’s use of botanicals.
