【Introduction of Distillery】
Strathisla is currently the oldest continuously operating distillery in Speyside, established in 1786 by Alexander Milne and George Taylor. This historic distillery has changed its name several times: originally named Milltown, it later changed to Milton; in 1870 it became Strathisla, only to be renamed Milton again in 1890; it was finally acquired by Chivas Brothers in 1950 and changed back to Strathisla in 1951, a name it has retained ever since.
因為它是 Chivas Brothers 收購的第一座酒廠，其柔順且充滿層次的麥芽威士忌更是起瓦士跟皇家禮炮的核心基酒，被譽為「起瓦士之家」。外觀上有著特殊「Pagoda Roof」 屋頂造型且在酒廠前坐擁一座美麗花園，讓 Strathisla 被譽為蘇格蘭最美的酒廠！
