Attraction in Keith
Of the many whisky distilleries that you will find on your travels in Speyside, none is older or lovelier than Strathisla in the town of Keith. The smooth, soft single malt whisky for which Strathisla is famous has been produced here since 1786. There is no better place to see this age-old craft at first hand.
Take a self-guided tour through all stages in the making of the spirit from the preparation of the malted barley to the copper pot stills that are the heart of the distillation process. See how the spirit is matured for long years in oak casks in the security of a bonded warehouse. Learn to appreciate the fine attributes of Scotch whisky in a tutored whisky 'nosing' that will teach you to distinguish the qualities of Strathisla single malt and the world famous blend in which it plays the leading role - Chivas Regal.
