The distillery is located in the small town of Keith on the banks of the River Isla, directly opposite Strathisla in Speyside. It was built by Chivas Brothers in 1957 on the site of a former grain mill and was the first distillery to be newly constructed since 1900. The distillery closed in 1999 but has been back in operation since 2013 under its current owner, Pernod Ricard. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Founded in 1957, the Glen Keith distillery is often regarded by connoisseurs as a hidden gem of Speyside, renowned for its elegant and fruit-forward style. Distilled on June 14, 1993, this single malt spent an impressive 33 years in a classic hogshead before being bottled at cask strength by independent bottler Best Dram on July 17, 2026. With a limited release of just 201 bottles\u2014and without the use of chill-filtration or added coloring\u2014the spirit\u2019s original character is preserved in its purest form. <\/p>\n
In the glass, the whisky displays a warm honey hue that reflects its long interaction with the oak. The bouquet opens with an intense array of aromas\u2014ripe apples and peaches\u2014underpinned by delicate floral notes and a subtle vanilla sweetness. On the palate, a powerful structure unfolds, where the cask strength of 56.7% ABV harmoniously blends with spicy depth and gentle fruitiness, before a long-lasting finish of dry oak and vanilla rounds off the experience. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":184170,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2258,2386,2851,2853,10242,2204,2276,2512,2170],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-184168","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-distilleries-en","product_cat-glen-keith-en","product_cat-independent-bottlers","product_cat-michel-reick-en","product_cat-regions","product_cat-scotland-en","product_cat-single-malt-en","product_cat-speyside-en","product_cat-whisky-en","pa_bottling_date-17-07-2026","pa_cask_type-hogshead-en","pa_country-schottland-en-2","pa_destillation_age-33-en","pa_destillation_date-14-06-1993","pa_region-speyside-en","pa_whisky_bottler-michel-reick-en","pa_whisky_bottler_series-best-dram-en","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"\n
