Strathmill is housed in a converted flour mill in the Speyside town of Keith. It sits on the banks of the River Isla and became a distillery in 1891. The original name was Glenisla. Shortly after it was taken over by W. & A. Gilbey, a gin company from London. In the 1960s they merged with others to form International Distillers & Vintners (IDV), one of the companies that evolved to become the modern-day Diageo. Since the 1960s, much of its production has gone into the J&B Rare blend. Official single malt releases are limited to a single bottling in Diageo’s Flora & Fauna range, which showcases the quality of whisky being produced at some of the companies lesser-known workhorse distilleries.
