Glen Keith is located in the small town of Keith in the Speyside region of Scotland, UK. It is one of the younger distilleries in Scotland and is owned by Pernod Ricard. Owned by Chivas Brothers.
In 1957, the Chivas Regal brothers established Glenkeith in Scotland. This was the first distillery established in Speyside after the Great Whiskey Crash in 1898. Next to it is the oldest distillery in Scotland. One of the distilleries - Strathisla. At the beginning of its establishment, Glen Keith mainly supplied wine for blended whiskey brands such as Chivas Regal. At the same time, the Chivas Brothers also used it as a laboratory to conduct innovative experiments in production and processing such as yeast research and development. In the 1970s, the distillery expanded, and the number of distilling machines increased from 2 to 5. Glenkeith became the first distillery in Scotland to use gas-heated distilling machines. By 1983, the distillery installed a sixth distillation machine, forming a distillation system that is still in use today. In 1999, Glenkeith was mothballed until 2012, when it underwent extensive renovations and reconstruction, and reopened in 2013. At this time, Chivas Regal Brothers had been acquired by Pernod Ricard, and Glenkeith had also become a distillery owned by Pernod Ricard, but the distillery mainly provided single malt whiskey for Chivas Regal Brothers' blended whiskey brand.
Glenkeith produces whiskey using spring water from nearby Balloch Hill and unpeated malt. From its founding until 1976, Glenkeith used only its own malt. Nowadays, distilleries choose to purchase malt from malt bases for production. Glen Keith has a total of 3 wash stills and 3 spirit stills, two pairs of which were installed in 1970. The distillery's restillers are taller and have long, tapering necks, while the primary stills are onion-shaped. Once the liquor used to blend the whiskey is distilled, it is transported to a rack-mounted warehouse next to the distillery for storage.
Although Glenkeith was founded only a short time ago and its history of producing single malt whiskey is relatively short, the innovation and experimentation of the distillery are of great historical significance.
