The tour was a bit technical with no local colour from the guide. The guide also rushed us out of the sample room without an encore. The real difference between OK and Great is the personal touch from the staff. It should be noted other tours where the guides have been more personable, have resulted in dividends in the distillery... More

Only comment is that Keith is NOT in the Highlands, no matter what the litrature says. It is in the North East and the welcome was every bit as warm as a Highland one would have been.

We attempted tours at a number of distilleries in the area, but had trouble since we hadn't made reservations in advance. One of the locals we talked to recommended Strathisla and we loved it! Our tour guide had worked at the distillery for over 30 years and was both passionate and charming. The tour lasted over an hour and included... More

Excellent tour in learning about the making of Scotch Whisky and history. You can purchase Chivas Regal products and souvenirs in the store.

We took a guided tour in the Strathisla Distillery and it was great! We did not know what to expect before arriving and the only thing we knew was that this distillery was a Chivas Brother's Distillery! It was a very good surprise as we were the only two visitors when we arrived. We were able to do the visit... More

I love the setup of this tiny distillery nestled amongst the trees outside of Keith. The tour is typical, but thats fine. The gift shop is attractive but there's not a lot of Strathisla stuff, mostly Chivas merchandise. One female staff was manning the gift shop the morning we were there and she was very unfriendly and awkward. We weren't... More

We walked over from out B&B first thing in the morning and had a nice tour that was only the people in our party - 3 of us. The distillery is beautiful and our guide very knowledgeable. Well worth the price as we got two pours of whiskey - one before the tour and one at the end. I wasn't... More
