Detailed Description
A rare treat bottled for Italian distributor Velier’s 70th birthday by Signatory Vintage, maybe the only bottler to still have casks of Glenisla. The spirit was made at Glen Keith during the experimental late 1970s, using a combination of lightly peated malt and heavily peated water. The result is a intriguing mix of fruit and gentle smoke ‚Äì a worthy experiment.

Distillery Information
Glen Keith is a distillery built by and owned by Chivas Brothers (part of the Pernod Ricard group since 2001) within eyesight of their centre piece distillery, the picturesque Strathisla Distillery. Glen Keith is a modern distillery. When it opened in 1958, it was the first new distillery to open in Speyside since the great whisky crash of 1898. It therefore contrasts markedly with Strathisla – the oldest in Scotland.
