Glen Keith Scotch Whisky

Glen Keith Scotch whisky distillery was built in 1957-1960 on the site of a corn mill.

It was one of the first new malt distilleries in Scotland since the late-Victorian whisky boom. Glen Keith originally had three stills; the distillery was designed for triple distillation - unusual for a Speyside distillery.

The number of stills was increased from 3 to 5 in 1970 when they switched to double distillation. The new stills were the first to be gas-fired in Scotland. However, three years later they where converted to internal steam coils for heating, Also a sixth still was added at some point so that the stills worked in pairs.

The distillery also pioneered the use of computers within the Scottish distilling industry.

The distillery was mothballed in 1999 and sold to Pernod Ricard in 2001.
