Facts

Glen Keith spent most of its life quietly supplying Chivas Regal blends. For decades it was a workhorse, not a headliner. Then it reopened in 2013 after a long silence, and the distillery finally started speaking in its own voice. This 10-year-old single malt is that voice. It is bright, fruit-forward, and gently spiced — banana, nectarine, and lemon wrapped in soft vanilla and grassy freshness. The revival behind this bottle makes it well worth getting to know.

About the distillery

Distillery

Glen Keith

Glen Keith is a single malt Scotch whisky distillery located in the Speyside region of Scotland. Founded in 1957, it is one of the newer distilleries in Scotland and is known for its light and fruity whisky with hints of citrus and pear. Glen Keith's unique features include the use of lightly peated malted barley and a "mash filter" for a more efficient extraction of sugars. The distillery was mothballed in 1999 but reopened in 2013 after being acquired by the Chivas Brothers. Glen Keith's whisky is typically aged in bourbon and sherry casks, and the distillery produces both single malt and blended whisky.

About the Glen Keith 10 years

Glen Keith 10 years is a single malt Scotch whisky from the Speyside region of Scotland. The Glen Keith distillery sits in the town of Keith, in Moray. Glen Keith opened in 1958. It was the first new Speyside distillery since the whisky crash of 1898 — a landmark for the region. Glen Keith built its early reputation as a blending workhorse. Its spirit went into Chivas Regal, Passport, and 100 Pipers for decades. The distillery was mothballed in 1999. It only reopened in 2013 after a full rebuild by Chivas Brothers. Glen Keith 10 years is one of the first official single malt expressions from that revival. The distillery runs three wash stills and three spirit stills. It was also the first Scottish distillery to use gas-fired stills. Chivas Brothers used Glen Keith as a production laboratory for decades. They developed proprietary yeast strains and trialled new techniques on site. That spirit of innovation continues in the current operation. Glen Keith 10 years is bottled at 43% ABV. The nose is fragrant and fruit-driven. Fresh peach, banana, and floral notes give way to citrus and a touch of vanilla. On the palate, lemon and orange mingle with pineapple and strawberry. A light herbal and grassy character runs through the whole dram, giving it freshness. Malty sweetness balances a gentle warming pepper spice at the finish. This is an approachable Speyside single malt with real personality. Glen Keith 10 years is a reliable choice for those exploring the lighter, fruit-forward style that defines the region. It also makes an ideal gift for whisky lovers discovering Scotland's classic styles.
