Built by Seagram in the late 1950s, Glen Keith provided malt whisky for the Chivas, Passport and 100 Pipers blends until it was eventually mothballed in 1999. By 2001, the company was acquired by French conglomerate Pernod-Ricard, who refurbished the distillery and pressed it back into service in 2013.

In addition to providing blending stock, the distillery is home to the Chivas Brothers lab, who’s experiments have included the production of a heavily peated spirit known as Glenisla. Official releases from Glen Keith are extremely thin on the ground, so the best plan for those keen to sample the seldom seen single malt is to hunt down some of the excellent indie releases.

"Whinnie the Pooh would love this, all runny honey sweetness"Whisky Magazine #133 Scored 8.8/10

Lombard Tasting Notes - Superb honey, fruity sweet nose. Compact marzipan, almondy and pine. Spice explosion with lovely orange liqueur and dried ginger on the palate. The finish is fab with its brilliant fruity tannins. Love it …
