DISTRICT |
Speyside
(Strathisla) |
Chivas owns two distilleries next door to one another in the town of
Keith, on the River Isla. One simply takes the name of the district,
Strathisla, the other is Glen Keith, which was built on the site of a corn
mill in 1957-60. It was one of the first of a new generation of malt
distilleries at that time. Glen Keith had the first gas-fired still in
Scotland, and pioneered the use of computers in the industry. Some 1960s
distillates were bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in the 1980s. A less chewy
official bottling, initially with a 1983 vintage date, made its debut in
1993-94. the whisky is now simply identified as being ten years old.
Like several malts from this district, it has a dry suggestion of fresh
wood.
