Glen Keith 31 Years Old

Founded in 1957 on the site of an old mill, Glen Keith has enjoyed a colourful history thanks to many of the rumours about its experimentations. For most of its initial existence, Glen Keith adopted a triple distillation process and with some company laboratories on-site, was used as a full-scale testing kit by its owners. Such whispers have overshadowed what a fine whisky Glen Keith can be when it escapes the clutches of the Chivas Blenders with 100 Pipers being a prime destination. Such responsibilities didn’t stop the distillery from being mothballed in 1999 when demand for whisky was in worldwide decline. Fast forward to 2012 and the distillery is revived with a sizeable investment refurbishing much of the internal production including a huge new 8-ton mash. Since this investment, Chivas have sought to raise the profile of the distillery through various special editions and an entry-level No Age Statement release that you’ll find in many supermarkets for just £20.
