A distillery unknown to most, with the majority of its produce destined for blends. Strathmill eventuated in the whisky boom of the late 19th century, where almost thirty malt whisky distilleries were founded (some familiar names include, Balvenie, Dalwhinnie, Aberfeldy and Glen Moray). It commenced as a Flour and Corn mill factory in 1823 which was converted under the name Glenisla-Glenlivet. In 1895 the gin producers W. & A. Gilbey bought the distillery and changed the name to Strathmill ('the mill in the long valley'), which today falls under the Diageo umbrella.

Today, the malt supplies blends like J&B with very few single malts surfacing. Independent bottlers are the main source for malt fans to sample its delights, which have been referred to by the likes of whisky writer Michael Jackson as "the whisky's answer to orange Muscat". More recently, various bottlings of Strathmill have received ratings as high as 96 points by Jim Murray.
This 12 Year Old bottling from Diageo comes under their 'Flora & Fauna" label. 43% Alc./Vol.
