About Strathisla

At Keith since 1786, by its own account the oldest working distillery in the Highlands, Strathisla is almost impossibly pretty, twin pagoda roofs and a waterwheel mirrored in the River Isla. It is the beating heart of Chivas Regal, and the place looks like a whisky postcard come to life. Pernod Ricard's.

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottles single casks under numeric codes rather than distillery names, so a label reading 58.403 means cask 403 from distillery 58. That distillery is Strathisla, in Speyside. More on Strathisla at Wikipedia.
