Strathmill 25 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskey 104.8 750 ML

The Strathmill Distillery is located in the town of Keith, and was founded in 1891 in preexisting mill buildings. Due to its proximity to the river Isla the distillery was renamed the Glenisla-Glenlivet distillery. When the distillery was sold in 1895 to the gin company W&A Gilbey during their expansion into the Whiskey industry, they changed the name to Strathmill to reflect the history of the facilities. The name comes from combining the Gaelic word Strath' meaning “shallow valley” and “mill” calling back to the original use of the property.
\n
\nThe facilities remained unchanged until Diageo merged with W&A Gilbey in the 1960s. Under Diageo the distillery's production capacity was doubled in 1968 and the number of stills was increased from two to four. Today Strathmill is one of three distilleries in Keith, the other two falling under Chivas Brothers' umbrella.

\nWhile Strathmill began releasing single malts as early as in 1909, the distillery's output has been primarily used for blended whiskies. Strathmill is an important component of J&B Whiskey and Dunhill.
