Distillery Reflections Part IV - Strathisla
Strathisla Distillery is one of the oldest and most picturesque distilleries in Scotland, located in the heart of the Speyside region.

The distillery is known for its distinctive twin pagodas, which are a familiar sight to anyone who has visited the town of Keith. One of the unique aspects of Strathisla's whisky is the use of traditional methods, including the use of worm tubs, which are believed to contribute to the whisky's rich and complex flavour profile.
