Sttrathmill Distillery's history dates back to 1823 when
it was founded as an oatmeal mill. It is situated in the
Strathisla valley near the River Isla and the old railway
branch line to Dufftown.
The distillery was not modernized until the late 1960s.
The number of stills were increased from two to four and
as a result, capacity doubled.
The water source comes from a local spring. Capacity per
year is 1,700,000 litres.
The Strathmill Distillery is not open to the public. |

The
Strathmill Distillery site which is situated in the town of
Keith was originally established as an oatmeal mill by Mr.
A.G. Johnstone in 1823. During this time, it was named Strathisla
Mills. In the year 1891 during the whisky boom, the mill was
converted into a distillery and named Glenisla-Glenlivet.
It was named Glenisla because of the distillery's close proximity
to the River Isla.
