Glen Keith is one of the younger distilleries in Scotland, having only been founded in 1957 by the Chivas Brothers. It is located in the beautiful Speyside town of Keith, within eyeshot of Strathisla, the oldest distillery in Scotland. Although the distillery has not been active for very long, especially by single malt distillery standards, its history is a significant one, filled with innovation and experiment. In the 1970s, after a successful first decade of production, the distillery expanded from two stills to five. These stills were the first to be gas-fired in Scotland. In 1983, a sixth still was installed, completing the series of stills that are still used today. In 1999, the distillery was mothballed. It lay quiet for over a decade, until a large-scale renovation began in 2012. It was re-opened in 2013, with its production capacity increasing from 3.5 million liters to 6 million. The majority of the single malt produced at the site is still used in the Chivas Brothers owned-blends, although Chivas themselves have been taken over by Pernod Ricard.
