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.
\n
\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.
Color: Pale Gold Nose: A fruit cup for grownups. Once open, this release perfumes the air with citrus, cereal sweetness, ripe cantaloupe, apples and chocolate. Taste: Sweet and honeyed, with all of the fruit of the nose combining with hints of toffee and caramel that drifts to a long white pepper finish. Apple comes out on top of the fruit fight but there is a slight hint of minty bitterness as well. The mouthfeel is oily for a moment, then quickly drying as the high proof of the cask strength kicks in. Water takes away a little of the dryness but increases the bitterness. For me, it's better neat. Finish: Dry and long, you'll take many a breath before this dram clears your palate completely.
