Strathmill is located in the small Speyside village of Keith, with close proximity to the Isla River and its neighbors, the Strathisla and Glen Keith Distilleries. Home to a former mill, in 1892 it was converted into the Glenisla - Glenlivet Distillery, a much more lucrative business. Shortly thereafter in 1895, the distillery was sold to W&A Gilbey who changed the name to Strathmill and primarily used the spirit in its J&B blended whiskies.

One of the more unique facts about Strathmill is a purifier pipe that runs from the lyne arm into the body of the spirit still. This gives the spirit a slightly oily texture with fruity and grassy notes.                                                                                                                          

Today, Strathmill is a part of the Diageo portfolio and distillery release single malts are only found in the Flora and Fauna series and through special releases. The spirit continues to primarily be found in Diageo’s blends. Luckily, independent bottlers can get their hands on the Strathmill spirit and add their craft to it, delivering delicious single malts.
