Old Bannockburn Scotch Malt Whisky 1970s

Deanston distillery opened in 1965, and its first single malt was called in Old Bannockburn, first bottled in 1971. Invergordon Distillers procured the distillery two years later, and introduced the first Deanston-named single malt in 1974. Sadly, a lack of interest in it saw the distillery mothballed in 1982, and it was not until 1990 when it was procured by Burn Stewart that it was revived and began to flourish. Now part of the Distell group, Deanston has become a global single malt brand.  

When Invergordon Distillers rebranded the distillery's single malt, the Old Bannockburn name was retained for this blended malt that they produced through the 1970s into the early 1980s.
