Chivas -Strathisla distillery in Huntley, Scotland

I stayed in a guest house owned by a local well-known professional boxer who also traveled around the world as an internationally recognized boxing referee and umpire. He showed me his trophies numbering more than 50, very impressive.

Breakfast in the morning was Scottish minimalist
an interesting house next to the distillery
The distillery where Chivas’s headquarters are but where one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland still creates their own single malt which is not made in large of quantities to sell out of the general area.
Strathisla is translated as ‘narrow river’
These buildings here represent their very famous distillery, very old and a shape which determines how the whiskey is distilled. The equipment is bent sideways to accommodate the roof structure
Very limited production
The Royal salute series was originally created to celebrate the coronation of Elizabeth II
We were just visitors so we did not need to clock in
You can see how the equipment is created to fit inside the building which is very old
The Chivas brothers bought this distillery because they needed the water and the distilling capacity
This is where we did our tasting
From the coronation of Elizabeth II to Charles
As you probably know the Chivas series are all blended whiskeys. This one will be an alternative purchase to a very small car
