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\u0026amp;A Gilbey who changed the name to Strathmill and primarily used the spirit in its J\u0026amp;B blended whiskies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOne of the more unique facts about Strathmill is a purifier pipe that runs from the lyne arm into the body of the spirit still.
