Strathmill was founded in 1892 under the name Glenisla-Glenlivet. It took its current name three years later when it was bought by W&A Gilbey, which would become International Distillers and Vintners (IDV) in 1962. Strathmill became a key component of the group’‘s flagship blend Justerini & Brooks (J&B). Now owned by Diageo, the distillery continues to be used for this purpose. For this reason, few official bottlings exist, save for a Flora & Fauna, a Special Release and a Manager’‘s Dram. Expressions of the single malt are more commonly found as independent bottlings.

A Strathmill single cask (#2096) distilled in 1996 and bottled at cask strength by Signatory Vintage in 2017 after 21 years of maturation in a hogshead. Signatory Vintage was founded in 1988 by Andrew Symington, who previously worked at Prestonfield House, Edinburgh, where he would select casks specially for the hotel. In 2002, he bought the Edradour distillery in Pitlochry, in the Highlands of Scotland and moved Signatory Vintage vintage to the site, including the warehouses opposite the distillery. A limited edition of 241 bottles.
