Chivas Brothers have created a special cask strength range. This range is uniquely available at the distilleries visitor centres. The bottles are bottled at cask strength to offer the enthusiast something different from the core range expressions that Chivas Brothers offer. Although, these days the bottles can also be found at SWA.
Bottled to mark the reopening of the distillery in June 2013. Glen Keith was mothballed in 1999 and had been left idle by Pernod Ricard's Scotch whisky business, Chivas Brothers, since it acquired the site in 2001. But, strong global demand for Scotch in recent years has put pressure on stocks, leading to a series of investment programmes across the industry.
Chivas spent in the region of £7 million to £8 million upgrading Glen Keith, which has a 50% higher malt distillation capacity than in its previous life
