The Distillery

Glen Keith
Glen Keith Distillery, originally a stone-built meal mill in Keith, underwent a remarkable transformation by Chivas Brothers Ltd. in 1957. Equipped with three pot stills, it produced both double and triple distilled whisky until 1970, when triple distillation ceased. Notably, one still was once dedicated to intensifying peat flavor in water imported from Stornoway. While Glen Keith primarily produces Speyside malt whisky for blending, its single malts occasionally appear in independent bottlings such as Signatory, Old Malt Cask, and Pearls of Scotland, offering whisky enthusiasts a glimpse of this distillery’s unique craftsmanship.
