Strathisla Whisky Distillery

The Strathisla Distillery

The Strathisla Distillery was restored to its former glory after it was purchased in 1950 by Chivas Brothers, becoming "The Home and Heart of Chivas Regal", the jewel in the crown of Chivas Brothers’ family of malt whisky distilleries. The Strathisla Distillery is now known as Scotland’s most attractive distillery, offering visitors a unique, self-guided tour of the buildings, to witness every stage of whisky-making. It is also the most photographed single malt distillery.
